Sleeping Problems?

Posted by Cliff on from the unable-to-count-sheep dept.

hugo_pt asks: "I have had sleep problems for some years, but it always get worse in the Summer. Yesterday I slept one hour, so when I got home at 8PM I thought I'd sleep till 9AM or so. Wrong. It's 1.36AM, and I can't sleep anymore. Instead, I'm reading The Complete FreeBSD, and the urge to sleep is gone. I was wondering how many Slashdot readers suffer from this problem, and what they do to combat it ?"

      Which is why I don't play the lottery or visit Las Vegas - I've used up my share of luck.

    When my computer was in for repairs I couldn't get any sleep at all, every little noise woke up up and it did't feel normal.

    You were just worried about your computer being away from home, all alone and exposed.

    WAIT...you didn't fix your own computer? What has slashdot become?!
