Hi, iv suffered insomnia for years and tried absolutely every possible drug, herbal remedy, sleep music you name it iv tried it. If I do manage to fall asleep its for a maximum of between 1 and 2 hours then im awake the whole rest of the night I cannot get back to sleep at all, im exhausted and at my wits end, any thoughts or ideas would be gratefully received.

Hello!
Doing too many things to sleep only gets you restless and encourages overmonitoring of results which makes you struggle to sleep more difficult! Learn to relax, letting go of sleep efforts, adopting a regular bedtime schedule and learning to trust your own body again often leads to a great outcome. Try it and Good luck!

The more things I did to try to sleep, the less I slept. I spent a real fortune with various treatments, CBDs, medicines, Cepaps, sleep specialists, therapies, miraculous cures, hospitalizations, Gurus etc… I calculate that everything I spent on sleep, I would buy an apartment. And it was all so simple… As Chee2308 wisely says, “just do nothing”. I arrived at CBTi, Matin’s guidelines and this precious forum, discredited by everything. Living in the sad and unhappy world of insomniacs. Following all the guidelines in 2 months I was already sleeping happily and soundly. I had to throw it all away, especially my wrong beliefs about sleep. Today I practice Full Acceptance. Anything that happens in relation to sleep and my night doesn’t affect me anymore. I have a consistent sleep of 6.5 / 7 hours a night. And my life totally changed. I’m another person. Now I live in the world of happy sleepers. Good dreams for you.
