Feeling like I have to take something every night to sleep is my biggest challenge.  I get anxiety when thinking about going to bed without a sleep aide.  I hate being awake all night….or waking up in the middle of the night and then being wide awake.  I also hate that I wake up 5+ times a night even when I take something.

Hello KelleyG and welcome to the forum. What are you currently taking at night before going to bed? It seems as though whatever you are taking isn’t working very well — otherwise, you wouldn’t be here! So, with this in mind, perhaps there is less reason to feel so anxious about going to bed without a sleep aid.

Can you tell us a bit more about your sleep issues? How long have you been struggling with sleep? When do you go to bed at night, when do you get out of bed, and how many hours of sleep do you get on a typical night?

Have you looked into (or tried) CBT for insomnia?
