Lucid dreaming, probably need a spliff and a few voddies for all that

Went on a work 'team building' type thing a few years back and it was all the normal stuff during the day but there was this meditation bit towards the end, fairly similar i thought to the lucid dreaming. It was unreal, couldn't sit still for a minute.
Although went for acupuncture a while back as well, and after all the pins are in, they leave you there for nearly an hour to relax. Now i dont know was it all the pins or what but i could seriously feeling all the blood rushing around and got a few head spins and stuff. It was fairly cool actually. I recommend it to everyone

I know what you are talking about bliss. At least the twitching part i can identify with as this does happen. Its weird. Well, i have broken down and gotten some pills as this can't go on any longer and i will temporarily force my body to accept what i want. I know that this is only a temporary solution but i need to get on wit things and don't want to dwell on this any more that i have to.
Thank you all very much for your input and everything else.

If it helps I have this now and again. Now being one of those times. I tried herbal tablets a couple of times but really for me it's changing what's happening through the day rather than the night, then I'm not getting kept awake.

Know what it feels like to have your alarm clock going off in the morning when your brain is still suffering the effects of sleeping pills?
I am sure you can imagine and i was close to chucking the thing out of the window.

Kinda feels like you're Tom, and Jerry has somehow managed to hit you on the head with a giant mallet? Yup, been there. I avoid pills for that very reason, I don't think I sleep any longer (or any better) but I definitely feel worse in the morning.
I think Myriad makes a lot of valid points about the anxiety of insomnia actually making it worse. I'm not really sure how you get around this, but I think for you, since it is a fairly recent affliction, it probably will pass (I hope), so maybe telling yourself that this is a short term thing, you'll be sleeping normally soon, would help? Not sure how much I believe in all that NLP type stuff, but sounds like you've got to that slightly manic stage of sleep deprivation, so I guess anything's worth a try at this point.
Over to ME - I slept for almost 5 hours last night, which is a bit of a personal best, in the last few months at least. I used earplugs, which I normally only do if it's especially noisy outside. Not sure if that helped, but possibly something else you might want to try? If you're having trouble falling asleep, it might help you to focus on your breathing as it's all you'll be able to hear. Oh and I have some Bach Flower Remedy Pastilles which are probably all placebo but if you're worried about lavender oil irritating your nostrils, they might be worth a go too?
Again I appear to be going for the world's longest post. Sorry.

I have been on pills for two days now and sleeping like a log. What i am worried about is when i come off of them but i will deal with that when it comes.
Problem for me for many years was that i use to work nights. I did this for many years and ever since then this thing of not being able to sleep right creeps in. It's not predictable but i have not been able to sleep right ever since i left that job. I am so sure that this job even may have a contributing factor in the break down of my marriage since we were like two passing ships in teh night. I was not there so she got what she wanted elsewhere.
I will get over this one way or another even if i have to ride myself into the ground 3 days in a row. I am happy with the temporary solution and will have to deal with the consequences, if any, when it comes time to get off of them.
I tend to write, sometimes, a ridiculous amount of words for posts as well. It's ok and does not bother me unless it bothers you of course.
