Just about all of us have trouble from time to time getting a full night’s rest, but what if this persists night after night?  In this case, you have chronic insomnia.  A more serious condition is severe insomnia.  We see this in people who have problems like sleep apnea.  This is what killed NFL great Reggie White.  If you have severe insomnia, please see a doctor right away.  But if your insomnia is not quite as serious, you are free to try some home remedies to get more sleep.  You can get a whole list of these in the book Stop Insomnia by Jeff Farley
