Reason I was thinking
clock was to catch the dam thing early! Earlier the faster
the relief, starting to see my thinking. I wake from pain but
do to no sleep, sleep so darn heavy don't feel it till its a
ripper, then I scare everyone around me, with my
screaming dance at whatever ungodly hour it may be.

I'm right there with you, Boski. I didn't use the alarm clock thingie, although I considered it for the same reasons you mention. I did, however, stay awake for my night cycle hits (11pm and 1am) to catch them early and abort quicker before they turned into a beast I couldn't catch. After the 1am hit, I was usually able to sleep for 6 hours or so. If I didn't stay awake, the sucker morphed into a monster KIP hit. So, I know what you're saying, and I've been there. Don't remember if you said, but have you tried melatonin-in the 9-18mg range? Blessings. lance

Hey Lance:

I did go up as high as 15mg's on the melatonin. Didn't
seem to push me through the night ones, still came on.

I find that I stay awake and the hit never comes. I can
stay up till dooms day then 1.5 to 2 hours after I fall asleep
bang and after few days with cat naps you just can't help
but crash hard. That's when the beast really get's me good.
I want to sleep bu the brain doesn't let me. It's seems like
a big game in my head. I'm just here for the ride, not in
control at all.
