I used to be able to sleep great until I went to Iraq with the National Guard in 2004. Ever since then, I've had the whole "sleep with one eye open" thing going on.
I also have another problem which is sleeping for 2-3 hours and then waking up. It makes me very tired throughout the day. Luckily I work from my home so if I want to take a nap during the day I can.
wow, thank you for sharing your story.
Naps should definitely be helpful to you. Maybe you should see a sleeping expert as well, he might be able to give you some more advice.
Wishing you all the best!
