Is this considered insomnia or just lack of healthy sleep?

Jimmy, I would suggest for you to have a sleep study done, you'll probably need a referal from your doctor's office, it sounds to me that you never fall into the deep sleep which they call (REM) sleep, I had the same problem of never getting totally rested the next day. If the sleep study is not possible there's always drugs to help. I have had to take Lunesta 3mg, before that i tried ambien 12.5mg, the ambien worked better but my insurance would not cover that drug this year. The sleep study would pin point the problem with your sleep study. Good Luck Rita V
