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?

    I hate insomnia. And I get it every tax season. My brain just will.not.shut.off. Have tried sleep meds...got really frustrated...was ready to squash that Lunestra butterfly if I caught him in my room. After several years of this, I just endure it, feel jet-lagged and nauseated all day and wait for April 15th. I normally sleep great, and I swim better well-rested. I miss sleep!
