last night I couldn’t get to sleep. Didn’t sleep all night. Has anybody else had this problem and have you done anything to remedy it? . Don’t want to take sleep aids.

Yep, you are not alone.

Many of us on here have been awake all night many times…. and many of us are getting better in that these “all nighters” as we call them are getting fewer and for some are gone completely.

If this just started for you, now is the time to nip it in the bud. If there’s anyway you can do this, try letting go of the struggle to fall asleep. This is what creates insomnia – our worry and desperate attempts to fix it through drugs or whatever we think might work. If we stopped worrying about the insomnia, it would naturally go away. Our worry and anxiety about it, feeds it. Our mind gets in the way. But when our mind gets out of the way by letting go of the struggle and stops worrying about it, then our body takes over and does what it’s been doing for all of our lives – helping us to fall asleep naturally.

So if you can have an attitude of “It’s no big deal if I don’t sleep tonight” and are willing to put up with a sleepless night or two, then the insomnia will go away by itself instead of growing into a problem that can last for weeks, months and even years.

P.S. Stay away from the pills. Insomnia does not have physical cause but is caused by your thinking. So medication is not the answer. Changing your thinking is.
