Osuche, after reading that article I posted here a few weeks ago about limonene (found in the peel of oranges and lemons) and the effect it has on preventing/easing asthma, I purchased some aromatherapy items to see if they would help at all with my daughter. Just for kicks (and because I have narcolepsy), I also bought a diffuser for here at work and often use the orange in it. Maybe it's just a mental thing with me, but it *does* seem to perk me up a bit, like those big into aromatherapy claim.

It's also possible that the sleep you *do* get at night is not "quality." I, too, sleep a good number of hours. However, a few years ago, when I was making a 80-mile drive frequently, I had to start stopping in the middle of the trip to take a 10-15 minute nap. After a sleep study, I found that I have "spontaneous awakenings" as often as twice a minute while sleeping--although I may not be consciously waking up, it's an interruption of my sleep. It's something to consider if you keep having problems.
