    Yep, every night for the last 32 years, you get used to it.

    @Mamabear77, 40 years of it,no help from gp,not remotely interested, I am a basket case because it it,I've had a particularly bad time this month of insomnia.

    It can be a factor in Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which i now how.

    I'm exhausted, fatigued, cranky. And its hard enough for those with no particular health conditions to contend with but ive so bl**dy many on top of it too.

    You've my sympathy, ive never got used to it,it impacts on my life too harshly. I have trouble dropping off and if i do eventually i'm awake so many times overnight and only get v quick naps or else solid staring at the ceiling nonsense.

    Years of not sleeping until 6 months ago my psychologist made me see my GP … won't prescribe me anything addictive because of past drug addictions. Gave me Melatonin and it's a godsend. Waking up is the issue now 😁
