I have both insomnia and delayed sleep syndrome, and I was born with both. As a newborn I was only sleeping 1-2 hours a day. I almost destroyed my family, if you've had children imagine having a baby that's awake 22 or 23 hours per day, everyday.
I've been in sleep studies and what they've learned is that the normal fall asleep process for me happens very quickly and it's very easy to to disrupt.
During my teenage years I was averaging 4-5 hours sleep every 2-5 days. In my 20's, 30's, 40's and early 50's I averaged 1-2 hours of sleep a day. With a lot of 2 and 3 days of no sleep.
A few years ago I started using an app on my iphone called Brainwave, it's a binaural beats program. This program has saved my life. Since I've started using the program I'm getting about 4-5 hours of sleep per day.
I use small wireless ear buds, and I use the deep sleep program. It runs for the entire time I'm in bed, the program will put me down, keep me asleep, and then wake me up.
