Just out of the blue, about 3 months ago, I started having trouble sleeping. I noticed while on vacation my sleep pattern was changing.
I was sleeping, but it was labored with lots of snoring. I tried the pills and they didn’t help..
I’m about to try a home sleep studyHi wynmar, I have been down what sounds like a similar road. The “labored with lots of snoring” could be sleep apnea, which the sleep study will determine one way or other. If it is, a CPAP machine (they will explain) will help a lot.
If it turns out that is not apnea—or apnea but also other factors—then you move to things like meds. The meds are temporary fixes and it is best to consult with a doc or pharmacist. The latter know the most about side effects, etc, but some docs are good at this, and you need a doc to get Rx.
I suggest one step at a time, first the sleep study. If it does turn out there are other issues, Martin’s course is a good way to explore attitudes about sleep, especially how to avoid letting insomnia get into your head. This can be hard to remember when you feel scrambled from fatigue…..and stick with this forum, if only to see that you are not alone.
This does not have to be a lifelong trauma or anything.
Take care.
