I have had Insomnia for 2 years now and during this time I have had CBT, Sleep studies, Meds of every kind and yet still suffer.. I am now finding that with time my sleep seems to be improving.. I probably now average 5_6hours a night as opposed to the 3_4 I was getting for the first 18 months.. I also have quite severe Tinnitus which I believe also inhibits the ability to sleep. But in saying that I have gotten use to the high pitch whistle 24/7.It took at least 18months to habituate to the sound which incidentally coincided with the onset of Insomnia.. A correlation most probably. My question to other members is.. “Has anyone or do any of the members no of an instance where the Insomnia has gone away naturally over time”

So glad to hear your sleep is improving and that you are now averaging between five and six hours of sleep each night! When insomnia becomes chronic (ie you’ve been living with sleep disruption for at least three months) then it might not go away by itself — and that’s because by this point our thoughts and behaviors are perpetuating the problem, so we need to address those thoughts and behaviors to get our sleep back on track. This is where cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) techniques come into play.

You can find many examples of people who have found CBT-I helpful by looking in the insomnia success stories forum, the client case studies page, and the Insomnia Coach Podcast.

I hope this helps!
