Hello everyone. This is my very 1st post (anywhere) and I am beyond desperate. Here’s a little bit of my history: My insomnia began when my youngest son was 3 years old. In a week, he will be 28, so that makes 25 years I have been struggling with this. Also, my son Michael passed away in 2015. As the years have gone by it has gotten so bad! Like many of the posts I have read on this site, I have tried everything from Melatonin, hypnosis, sleep schedules and hygiene, neurofeedback (very cool playing video games using only my brain) as well as every sleep med, benzo and antidepressant, etc. I have seen many, many docs and no one really had a permanent solution. I go days without sleeping-usually no more that 4 days, although I have gone 5 days. At this point (I am 53 years old), My body can no longer tolerate no sleeping/no healing. I am on my 3rd day/night so there’s still some focus with my addled brain. I will check back-hopefully someone has some advise. Thank you!!!
Hi chronsombch,
You should really try Martin’s free sleep training course. It has helped me sooo much. I’m in the third week of implementing the CBTI strategies and am sleeping better than I was before I did his course.

GlynisYou have certainly tried a lot of things, but I didn’t see cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in your list. Is this something you’ve tried?
Your insomnia doesn’t sound unusual in any way, so I have no reason to believe that you wouldn’t find CBT-I to be helpful at getting your sleep back on track.
You might also like the podcast episode where I talk to Jeff — he often found it hard to fall asleep but when he gained additional job responsibilities and became a parent, those difficult nights became more common and this led to a lot of sleep-related fear, worry, and anxiety.
I think you’ll find that you have a lot in common with his story and that of others who once struggled with insomnia and improved their sleep using CBT-I techniques.
Good luck, and I hope this helped!
