    May be stress.....if its not been always the same way ...sometimes high caffeine consumption causes it too or in case I sleep in eveninh for a quick nap have hard time sleeping at night..

    I've had sleep disturbances since withdrawing from antipsychotics in 2008, i wake up 2-3 times an evening.

    This isn't a problem, as most people do. But when I wake up I tend to be incredibly hungry, or too awake to nod back off.

    I've dealt with that off and on for a number of years...it's really a drag. But it never lasts long, at least for me.

    Same problem here. 4-5 hours is my normal, waking up multiple times during the night.
    Melatonin helps put me to sleep, but I still wake up.

    Pretty much have had insomnia for about a year and I have to admit it sucks, I rely on sleeping pills everyday to knock out. I'm just scared that one day I won't be able to sleep on my own anymore
