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?

Kinda off topic maybe...but when I was reading that skymall magazine on the plane a few months ago I came across this alarm clock thingy that also has a watch that you wear on your wrist. And the clock using a dector of sorts in the wristband knows what stage of sleep you are in...and since you cycle through the stages, if you put the alarm clock to wake u up at 530am, but you come out of REM at 515 and enter the sleep zone that is easiest to awake from feeling refreshed it will wake you up then...instead of waiting the 15minutes when you might be back into a deeper realm of sleep.
Idk how well it works, but I do know that me, being that I get very little sleep (4.5-5.5 hours a night), waking up feeling groggy and slow and unrested is a big deal. This alarm clock claims to allow you to wake up feeling the biggest benefit of what sleep you did get?
