[Richard in Florida]

I have been having chronic insomnia for over four years and taking a prescribed drug for it for over two years. Have read several books on better sleep and followed several online speakers (doctors) over these years. Am in my late 70’s and am losing memories, spelling of words, etc.
All this has led me to have low self-esteem and self-worth issues. Loss of appreciating life.

Part of my problem is having to get up every few hours and release my bladder. I try not to drink anything two hours before bedtime. Meds from my PCP do not seem to help. He just tells me that I have a low Testasterone score but nothing tried from him is helping.

Welcome to the forum, Richard. It’s good to have you here.

Losing memories and finding it harder to spell words must be difficult. And it’s not your fault that you’re experiencing that. So, I hope you might be able to consider ways of being kinder to yourself in response to that difficult stuff.

When you wake during the night to use the bathroom are you finding it hard to fall back to sleep?
