How big an issue is sleep?

I don't mean to be nosy, but I've now read quite a few references to Ambien CR and insomnia. Is it a big problem among posters? How do you combat insomina or sleep deprivation during meets and training and life? I'm not a big sleeper myself in terms of # hours, but I seem to know a lot of folks suffering from insomnia. Some are resigned to their fate; others are unhappy. What gives?

    Donna, my experience has been that lack of sleep makes me more hungry, and I think I read somewhere that there is a hormonal basis for this phenomenon. I take a half of a Unisom when I need it. It has a different ingredient than Tylenol PM and Benadryl, and I think it works better.
