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?

Sleep isn't problem except I have to get up for work. I'm asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I'll even sleep through the alarm if my wife didn't wake me.
Because we have a 3 YO, my wife and I feed her and put her to bed by 7pm. We cook dinner and have a cozy dinner-out, in; at 8-9pm. Then relax with :drink: until 10pm and then crash. My wife sleeps through too, but has to get up when my daughter wakes at 7-7:30am (that's 12+ hours every night since she was 5 weeks old!) and she naps 2-3 hours every afternoon.:applaud:
So for some reason we are all big sleepers. We'll even nap on Saturday AND Sunday without effecting our nighttime sleep.
