I sleep for 4 or so hours most nights and don't sleep every 3rd to 5th night and every couple of weeks I sleep for 10 hours.


It's pretty messy and I've spent most of my life like this. 
My parents were or are drug addicts so I've had an unusual life to say the least and they're the reason I'll never use hard prescription drugs. I've tried the lesser drugs but nothing has worked. 

I have done breathing exercises (A lot), sensory deprivation, counting, weed, having a wank, various relaxing audio tracks and books and even being massaged.

The only thing that works almost every time was being cuddled in a hammock with someone I love but that's not an easy one for multiple reasons. 

Tell me about your sleep patterns and how you handle them!
