  1. For me it was worse at age 14-16, a combination of exam pressure and teenage angst/heart ache was the main factor. I used to deliberately go running and do lots of excercisethrough the day before 7pm to try fight the insomnia. I would run to school, i would run back. I would start working out once i got home, all the time with a fear of the insomnia. I worst hated it on the rare times i was falling asleep, but a sudden noise from a family member, or even them calling me 'have you gone to bed yet?' (at around 11pm) woke me up, and then anger and stress would keep me up until 4-5am, then 2 hours sleep, then up for school, then not being able to concentrate, especially after lunch time.

  2. Che Guevarra was no saint and he was no freedom fighter but his staunchist critics dont' realise how bad things were for poor people in latin american countries (especially central america) and how repressive these regimes like Batista's could be. Guevarra wasn't going up against prosperous liberal democracies and turning them into communist authoritarianisms. He was going up against some pretty harsh and elitist dictatorships who treated poor people not much differently to the time of colonial haciendas. I'm not saying it's right but I can understand why people at the bottom run would have supported him and Fidel. Some would say going from these dictatorships to a communist authoritarianism would be no improvement. But to many of the poorest it was. At least compared to the lowest strata of Nicaraguans, Haitians, Hondurans, Salvadoreans. I don't want to come across as an apologist though, I'm just stating the other side of the argument but for the record I think Cuba should have changed to a real democracy when the Soviet Union fell. But because of the communists tightly maintaining their grip on power the people have had to needless suffer while i'm pretty confident that under a capitalist liberal democracy Cuba could become a first world country and the most prosperous country of all the Caribbean by a longshot. And prosperity is the best weapon against communism and revolution.

  5. No. I'm pretty sure that if Batista managed to hold power Cubans would have been better off, given time. And his successor(s) would likely have gone on to re-establish a full democracy. Especially likely after collapse of USSR but maybe even before then.
