Good topic, I think this is something we can all relate to.
In high school, I was like any other kid, commonly staying up until about 1 am, and waking up at 6.
Nowadays, I don't just "stay up late", I actually can't sleep. Even if I go to bed early, I'll seriously lay in bed for four hours and when I do get to sleep, it's not the comforting, deep sleep I want.
How bad has it gotten? These past few weeks, my roomate has usually gone to bed at about 6 a.m. I, on the other hand, like to go for a uber-late/really early morning stoll, and usually get back and into bed at about 7:30 a.m. In many respects, I hate it, and it's ridiculous; but I wouldn't trade those winter walks for anything. I strongly recommend going for a stroll in the worst weather, at the worst time of day when there is no one around. I've had some of my happiest moments, and best inspirations because of it, adn I wouldn't trade those winter morns for anything.
Back on topic though, I almost need medicine to get to sleep sometimes. Cheap antihistimines do ok, and so does Nyquil or it's pill equal. But if anyone has any suggestions on some strong but cheap drugs to knock me out, please, by all means tell me.
