Hi folks

Working with a psychologist I've become recently aware that I'm bipolar. Huge revelation and step forward in understanding my self.

My whole life I just kind of accepted that I go through "insomnia" phases.

Well, I'm getting older, and have kids, and my grouchy insomniac behavior is not working out anymore. I have 4 small boys (2 w/ mental divergence of their own), who start causing trouble every crack of dawn. This house is bananas.

How do yall get to sleep? I don't like taking pharma meds, but will if that's the only way.

I'm especially interested in hearing from someone who has a mind that is constantly hyper-pegged and red-lined on mental machinations 24x7.

Thanks for the community - I'm also spectrumy and enjoy the folks in the aspergers community here.

Cheers
