All I want is sleep… Why again?
I tought my insomnia was gone, but suddenly it s here again. I was sleeping good 7 months in a row, with minor problems like Can’t fall asleep fast, but I was sleeping 8 hours every day and suddenly, like I said , my insomnia is here again.
I know there are people with this kind of Insomnia where we can’t sleep even 1 minute. The problem is that I don t understand why this insomnia dissapears and suddenly is come back. Is thIs insomnia ”normal”? I m a health person, I don’t feel sick or something, but this insomnia make me think that I could die if don t sleep. Now I m stressed just thinking if this third night I m not gonna sleep again. Need help… Sometimes I m worried that my sleep never comeback again.
Thank you to all people around the world for share your stories and of course to Martin to bring us this space.

Hi, Davy. Could you tell me what to do when this happen? I want to force sleep in the afternoon, but I can t get sleep even tired. Or It s better to wait until night to try to sleep?
Thank you.
Hello John and sorry to hear about your recent difficulties with sleep. The key to recovery is to act as though your sleep hasn’t been disrupted. In other words, don’t try to compensate for the bad nights of sleep. Don’t go to bed earlier than normal, don’t nap during the day, don’t stay in bed later than normal, and don’t cancel plans or try to conserve energy.
If you trust your sleep system to get back on track by itself, I am confident it will do so. Sleep drive always wins — you will not be able to go without sleep indefinitely. Sleep will happen.
Remember that you have experienced seven months of good sleep. You know you are capable of sleep and so, in the grand scheme of things, this is a very minor setback. Concentrate your attention on all the good nights you had, don’t try forcing sleep or doing things like sleeping during the day, and I think your sleep will get back on track sooner rather than later.

I just want fight this insomnia naturally, without sleeping pills or something like that. like you said, I think I m able to sleep like 7 months ago.
