can anyone explain why
sleep medications, whether prescription or over-
the-counter, have
the opposite effect on me? I have had numerous sleep studies done, and all they can tell me is that I am a "true insomniac". I get, at best, 2 maybe 3 hours of broken sleep a night. I will go 2-3 weeks without shutting my eyes at all, then my body will collapse, and I will sleep for days without waking up. In fact, I won't even change the position I was in when I fell asleep.
