It's reported that a lot of people who think they have insomnia - actully sleep more than they think they do. I know that sounds nuts: but they think they aren't getting sleep -when they are actually getting 'light sleep' / dozing but aren't realising it.

Serious insomnia is meant to be hellish and apparently makes it very difficult to function properly.

I'm not a brilliant sleeper but I will conk out for hours on the sofa in the evenings and wake up in the small hours not being able to get back to sleep - but that's obviously nothing like insomnia.
