I think I might be an insomniac...

I have trouble getting to sleep at night, I didn't sleep at ALL last night, I have trouble staying asleep.

Anyone know how to cure this?

EDIT: As I predicted, I feel like a ReDead...

Try sleeping tablets... You probably aren't an insomniac if you didn't get to sleep for one night. I am an insomniac so I am never sleeping :P

Actually, this happens often, but usually it isn't all night and all morning, usually I am awake until 3 or 4 and then I drift off slowly, just to wake up an hour later.

And I won't try sleeping tablets. I don't like getting drowsy off of drugs.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hmm... No nightmares that I can recall. Usually just dreamless sleeps. I might get an appointment for the doctor soon. Not sure though. I don't like doctors.

There are multiple causes for Insomnia, with varying degrees of danger.

Some causes are genetic and some are due to stress or other emotions, If you really think you have insomnia then you should see a doctor as soon as you can. This is because Insomnia will eventually lead to death, not getting enough sleep is very dangerous.

It's probably a bit unnecessary to freak people out like that.
Insomnia is virtually never lethal except in rare cases, such the genetic disorder called fatal familial insomnia. This rare degenerative brain disease develops in late adulthood. It is progressive and the individual develops intractable insomnia, which eventually becomes fatal.
