I can never seem to get consistent, restful sleep. Since childhood, I've been struggling with something like insomnia. I now sleep once about every two days - I might sleep and hour one day and then 6-10 hours the next. On those days where I can't sleep, I'd just lay awake in my bed, frustrated that I can't sleep. Don't know why this is as I don't consume caffeine, take part in vigorous activity at night, and I don't smoke.

So I'd like to know how do normal people deal with sleep?
