messed up sleep patterns

[Guest guest]

My sleep patterns are a mess. Trouble is, they never were normal. And I've

got a mom & a kid just like me. I've never been able to fall asleep. I

wear myself out trying, I think.

But this business of waking up in the night & being BOING wide awake is

fairly recent, maybe 2 yrs. I don't like it. I know B12 can make your

sleep patterns a mess. But those levels are just dandy.

I just figured I was taking the " family disease " one step further.
