Insomnia

I have sleeping disorder. Let me explain. I do not have problem falling asleep. In fact, more often than not, I am asleep before I am able to finish my prayer. Yeah, I pray horizontally.

My touble is staying asleep. I figure I got an average of 3 - 4 hours of sleep each night for the past one year.


My sleeping pattern: Deep sleep for the first 2.5 - 3 hours. Then, I'd wake up. Thereafter, I will have trouble falling asleep again. I may doze off but I'd wake up frequently.


After more than a year, I am feeling the effects. There are permanent "bruises" under my eye. My short term memory is terrible. My concentration is bad and I am making more mistakes than ever in my works. Yes, long term insomnia reduces productivity. I don't know how much longer...


So if you know a cure, do share. I desperately need it.
