Last night is the first night since at least December 2007 that I've managed to sleep without Ambien. I've been cutting the dosage back for weeks now, and last night, I just said fuck it, and didn't take any. And I slept.
We take our victories where we can find them, no matter how small.
This, I grok. (I'm glad to read this.) My bare experience with drugs mainly had to do with sleeping pills, five years ago, and it turned out not to be a solution for me. I've dealt with sleep issues on and off since then, including now (hello stress! Long story), so I understand enough.
May the sun reach you soon.
P.S. Making sure you see this: a wonderful interview with Terry Gilliam (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/starsandstories/6280878/Terry-Gilliam-interview-for-The-Imaginarium-of-Doctor-Parnassus.html).
