Hi. I'm a nurse and I have insomnia as well. We have insomnia. I only have it for a couple of months now and it's caused by my depression. Like yesterday, I stayed up for 24 hours but sleep 12 hours straight today. That is insomnia indeed. The best thing to do is consult a doctor or a psychiatrist/psychologist for advice. Normally, they will prescribe you sleeping pills (like what they gave me), but you have to regulate your use of it. Remember, that sleeping pills can be overdosed, and you don't want that happening or else you'll end up like Heath Ledger. So consult a doctor now. Hope everything goes fine with you. Take care.

You might have bipolar disorder, or another cycling mood disorder. It depends on what other symptoms you have.
If you're depressed during the times that you're sleeping twelve to sixteen hours, and you're very hyperactive during the times that you stay awake for days, you should see a therapist, psychologist, or neurologist. But if the only symptoms you're having are sleep problems, talk to your regular doctor.

sounds kinda bipolar to me....hows the moods?

how is that a question.

You could be having caffeine at night which is not good. Just repeat some words or become dizzy in your sleep.
