Night is for sleep...

Iv decided to diagnose myself with Insomnia.

So I say to myself "tonight I'll go to bed at 09:00"... But this never happens. I always find myself sat wide awake either watching telly or on the computer, some nights I'm on my phone playing with apps until stupid o'clock. I'v tried just laying there in the dark and it doesn't seem to work, just lay there staring into nothingness... I'v heard someone say that if you have a neat and tidy room then you'll find it easier to sleep, tried that and nothing... my brain doesn't seem to switch off. Is this something I should go see my doctor about? Should I try natural sleeping remedies? Do you have suggestions?...

Don't get me wrong I do sleep, at silly times and for silly lengths of time but at least its sleep, right?.. The longest I'v gone without sleep was about just under 4 days... Safe to say I slept a complete 24 hours after that. Not being able to sleep is acceptable at the moment because I don't have a job, I'v no need to be up at a certain time but what happens once i get work?! Will my sleeping pattern change?? Will I sleep like a normal person?? Will I develop a 'normal' sleeping pattern??

What is 'normal'? Who has the right to say what is normal and what is not, shouldn't we as human beings be able to say what is normal for us and our individual life style... I think a 'normal' sleep should last between 6/8 hours.. I know my sleeping pattern is not 'normal' but is it okay for now? Safe to say some research is required into this and some professional help/opinions are needed but for now I should try and at least get an hour.. My goal for every night!
