An office worker, get rid of all sleep disorders:

Posted by Former sleepless on January 15, 2002 at 23:21:21:
You have slept good in the past? But no longer do so?
you have some of the following problems?
- Hardly any sleep, you wake up in a stress kind of feeling
- Once you fall asleep, you may wake up instantly
- Once you fall asleep, you feel a lot of energy (may feel even like current)
- Once you go to work, you are dead-tired once you have been sitting for a while ?
Simply, your back is (may be) bent. You have really a non-ergonomic way of sitting down. Once you go to work, you rapidly find the relaxing position, which makes your gut muscels relax.
But once you try to sleep, your muscels are no longer in the exact same position as at work.
Your gut muscels (stomach) may be "shrinked", so that, in the end, your ONLY RELAXING POSITION IS SUCH WHEN YOU WORK.
Any other position makes these gut muscels tensed (not relaxed), which in turn, makes a whole lot of adrenaline to your body. This adrenaline keeps you up all night.
Once you have eaten, the food may come fastly out, because the gut has shrinked.
The (obvious) solution is to straighten your back. At the same time, your gut 'expands' also. You now the rest.
(Indeed, sleeping pills help a bit if not being aware of that, because you get sleep in a position in which the mucsels are tensed, and after a while they 'expand'.
But only for a moment.)
Good luck!!!!
