Insomnia on a pedestal

"If you ask a normal sleeper what they do to sleep they will tell you they do nothing. If you ask an insomniac they will give you a list as long as their arm - and here lies the problem. Most of the clients who come to see me are running several miles a day to tire themsleves out, have not touched caffeine or alcohol for months and are religiously bathing in lavender oil, drinking warm milk and listening to relaxation CD's - only to then not sleep. All of these actions only help to put insomnia on a pedestal and strengthen it."

Dr Guy Meadows, London Insomnia Clinic
