lol..so I hear.
Looking through sleep related medical terms I came across this, I doubt you'll be finding it in a puzzle anytime soon ;)

uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) - an operation on the throat to treat severe snoring and sleep apnea.

I think I've heard the condition called parainsomnia, but when I google it I get parasomnia, which isn't the same thing.

It was on the tip of my tongue Lionheart... Not!
I've heard a golf ball sewn into the back of one's pyjama jacket does the trick, but never tried it.
Hope your ok Lionheart, I'm off to nod land myself now.

Stay well. Les

You too Aristo, Good night

Looks like it exists, I just suffer from an inability to go to bed when I should!

"Para insomnia is the objectionable experiences or physical events, at arousal from sleep or within sleep and will include behaviors, perceptions, sleep-related movements, emotions, dreaming and involvement of the autonomic nervous system."

Me too Les, night both of you :)

That's the same as parasomnia. I did find it, but only by googling it with Smallbone Deceased! It's either para-insomnia or parainsomnia.
