Yes I have the same problem, I do eventually nod off but it is frustrating, I have learnt to accept it but often dread going to bed. I think maybe we do sleep in between the thoughts that is what I read on one of the insomnia sites. Sometimes if something is troubling us we can,t switch off.

I hate it because for months i was sleeping just fine but a few nights ago i started to not be able too. This has happened to me before but not for this long. I find i feel safer sleeping during the day.

I try not to sleep during the day, I have 20 minutes nap but by 9.30 I,m very tired. My bedroom holds unusual things ,I wake up and see alien things and people, they disappear in seconds, this has got to be a sleeping problem. It does get better after a few nights but the unease remains.
