I wish I could figure out why I am waking up in the first place.

Sometimes I'm able to sleep, almost like a regular person (which means falling asleep within 2 hours), but most of the time it's not that easy. The problem is falling asleep. It's like my mind doesn't want to stop working, while my body is exhausted. There have been many days I woke up, frustrated as hell for not being able to fall asleep. Then I'm a zombie for a whole day. I have this since I was a baby. I have learned to live with this .
