Statistics for Insomnia

not true

"The average American gets 7-8 hours of sleep, instead of the 8 to 10 hours recommended by doctors. Children however are recommended more than 8 hours." This statement has nothing to do with insomnia. Anyone care to comment? josta59 16 May 2007

Critique 2

Good job so far group. I find the sections to be a little lengthy and I definitely think there is room for some simplification. Changing around the flow of the melatonin section, as previously stated, would greatly improve it. Also some information may not be vital, or just needs to be simplified and using links to other articles helps you not have to go into so much detail. Not too much o change but good job overall, found a lot of good resources and information. Sasenick412 (talk) 14:59, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Critique 3

Good job group! I didn't know there was so many different forms of melatonin. It's already been mentioned but some of the information has been repeated over and over in the section. Also, some sentences come off a bit awkward, try to reshape them so its easier to read and comprehend. Reva m18 (talk) 15:22, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice we will see what we can do for the wording and maybe changing around our sentences a bit to make them more reader friendly Justine28 (talk)

Critique 4

I enjoyed reading this article because I actually learned a lot. I do have a couple of suggestions though. It seemed to throw the article as a whole off a little bit because your section is much larger. It also got a little repetitive at times. great resources though, and a great start.jendombeck (talk)

• Stick with important information and cut out some of the supporting information

• Good information and resources

I think overall you guys have been doing a good job reviewing and including so much interesting information regarding Insomnia. Doctors state we have to get at least 8-10 hours of sleep, but the average american only gets 7-8hrs a week of sleep. I enjoyed learning all the types and characteristics of Insomnia and to actually know how many people deal with this problem. ilsetap08Ilsetap08 (talk) 17:16, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

I really enjoyed reading this article and found it interesting, especially since I have Insomnia myself. However I would like to see if the "Patterns of Insomnia" beefed up with some more notes, facts, or info if possible.

There is no cure for chronic insomnia.

I have had incurable insomnia for two years. It was getting worse for about 6 months. I contacted a dozen of the best psychiatric insomnia specialists money could buy. All of them, except last one turned out to be quacks. The last one was a professor - he admitted that my insomnia was incurable and that he could not help me. Eventually I could not sleep at all - I did not have any sleep for about 2 months. Now I sleep about 3 hours twice a week.

Most medical school students get no more than four hours of training on sleep disorders. Some get none because there is no cure for chronic insomnia. Quinacrine (talk) 14:26, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
