Hi everyone! I’ve had episodes of insomnia since I was a teen. I took Martin Reed’s course and it helped so much for several months. I had a relapse and recommitted to doing the suggestions in the emails. Now I have a sleep restriction window of 6 hours. I fall asleep just fine, but usually wake up about a half and hour to an hour before my set wake up time. It’s usually not enough time to get out of bed, read for a bit, and go back to sleep like I would normally do if it was more in the middle of my sleep window. I find that I am not feeling rested when I wake up. I’ve tried cutting it back to a 5.5 hour sleep window and then week by week adding 15 minutes. But I am feeling like I’m getting stuck here. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much, I’m glad to be here.

I’m interested to know how you define difficult days that show up after you’ve had a run of good days. Do you call those difficult days relapses, too? If not, why not?
If you slept right through until your alarm went off, what would you then be able to do that you are unable to do when you wake before your alarm goes off? Perhaps by figuring out why minimizing that time awake feels important to you, some insights as to why there might be a bit of a struggle could reveal themselves!
