Nocturnal

I have been having a terrible time sleeping at night. I'll climb into bed and then lie there for two hours with sleep ever retreating from me. Then I'll take a sleeping pill and feel as alert and awake as ever. Maybe an hour or two after that, I'll fall into a restless sleep.

I'd say that I have insomnia, but I have no trouble falling asleep in the daytime. I'm extremely sleepy in the morning and afternoon and given a few moments of darkness and/or quiet inactivity, I'll drop right off. But as soon as the sun goes down, I become more and more alert despite my lack of sleep. After dinner it seems that I don't have a hope of going to sleep until 4AM.

I've been this way for over a week now, with only a few exceptional nights of decent sleep. Sleeping pills usually solve these problems for me, but they don't seem to be having any effect this time. I'm starting to get worried.
