I suffer with bouts of insomina not the weak type that allows you a couple of poor quality hours a night but the true type that stops me from sleeping at all. I wouldn't take drugs to stop it however as it gives me these really brilliant adrenaline rushes (well I use the term rush but its more a slow burning release) that keep me really happy and bouncy untill my body drains itself of adrenaline which allows me to sleep again. I actually really enjoy my bouts and like most Bi-polar depressives I would never stop suffering it if I could the highs are just too great.

Of course my body has to pay for these highs however and some of the payments I don't mind. I burn thousands upon thousands of calories more a day than usual which although means I am very hungry all the time as I have a pretty healthy balanced diet I also get to shed the stored unused calories so I go down in weight. The aches in my body however (general daily movement after about 23 hours or more without good lying down sleep hurts you a bit but after 3 or so days it crucifys you. my eyes become blood shot and sore not to mention unbearably dry. Lastly if the bout continues for more than 7 days I can start actualyl hallucinating in public which might just cause problems with work
