Sorry to hear about your struggle with sleep. How long has this been going on for? Health issues are quite often an initial trigger for sleep disruption, but it’s our response to this sleep disruption that makes it hard for our sleep to recover.

Typically, we respond to sleep disruption by thinking about sleep more than we ever did before, we might start (quite justifiably!) worrying about sleep, and we might implement behaviors in a bid to improve our sleep that actually make it harder for our sleep to recover (for example, spending more time in bed and modifying our days in response to a hard night of sleep).

Have you looked into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)? CBT-I techniques help address the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate insomnia and that’s why they’re such a great long-term strategy for dealing with insomnia.
