do you ever get those sleeps where you feel like you haven't slept at all?

Every day!  I sleep so light that I can wake up hearing someone breath.  I never get good sleep and have black circles under my eyes to prove it.

I have! I know I've at least STARTED to die in my sleep before, and I was all relaxed and drifting off with my father (who is dead) and stopped breathing & my husband had to shake me and I woke up gasping. Another time I dreamed of how someone else in the family died as if it were me, and I had the same feeling. It wasn't scary. THAT's what was so scary!

I have had it a few times. Right after I saw a nightmare.\n\nNothing to WORRY, it is STATE OF DEEP SLEEP, the body is temporarily paralysed. It is only normal to have it. No docs or medicine required.\n\nI remember I felt like shouting, i was scared, but couldnt move my jaw, my arms. legs, man it was scary... but I am proud I had a wierd experience like that ...

I have, it scared the s*** out of me!  I woke up from a nap and could hear my husband and kids downstairs and couldn't move my body.  My brain was fully alert and I tried to holler to my husband because I was scared to death and I couldn't even do that.  I eventually convinced myself that I was still sleeping and having a bad dream...I must have drifted off because when I woke up again I was fine.  That is bizzare enough in itself.

I have them constantly and it is really freakin' me out. It happens at around 11 p.m. at night. I climb into my bed to read a book and then suddenly I feel really strange. Next thing I know, it is morning. I can't explain this and it is really weird.

It's a strange thing but sometimes too much sleep can actually leave you feeling tired, but I dunno any more than that.  Maybe you are just so rested that your body and mind are waking gradually.

Yes, if you're lying there & can't sleep, that's insomnia. If you're exhausted & yet can't fall asleep, that's insomnia. Just try something different. Lying there worrying about not falling asleep makes it harder to fall asleep! Try to relax before bed by reading or watching tv (preferably something not too stimulating, maybe something really boring!) or exercise strenuously earlier in the day. Physical exhaustion makes it easier to sleep & is a great stress reliever. Or you could try yoga, meditation, breathing techniques. What is keeping you up at night? Is there something you're worried about? Getting your feelings out by talking to someone may help. Also, watch what you eat & drink. Some people say warm milk before bed helps. Watch your caffeine intake. I wouldn't recommend cola or coffee before bed.\n\nGood luck.\n\nI'm an insomniac myself. I work shiftwork & it's hard for me to get out of nightshift mode on my days off (& on dayshifts which I hate). Plus I'm naturally a nightowl. When I can't sleep I get up & do something (like playing guitar, writing songs). I figure I might as well do something constructive with my time since I'm not sleeping anyway. It's rough. I feel your pain!

No, I haven't, but if you have you may want to see a doctor so you ask them about Night Terrors or other sleep disorders.

I have noticed the lack of dreams, but I don't think its bad becasue I think that I just don't remember the dreams as opposed to not having them at all. There is usually a sense that I have had a dream, but I have never remembered any of them. Hope that helps.

Depends, but there's a stage of 1/2 asleep where if I get woken from, I get this shaky, pulsating surging feeling that I sometimes can't shake for hours!

if you're falling asleep at 5am and waking up at 6 or 7 then yes, it's insomnia.  I know because I have it. BUT if you're falling asleep at 5am and getting a normal amount of sleep then your sleep pattern is messed up.  You'll have to force yourself to get up around 8am and you'll fall asleep earlier that night.
