Been living with nightly insomnia for 4 and a half years now. Had my own theories about its origins because the onset came out of nowhere. Tested thyroid, adrenals , done overnight sleep studies. I’ve got nowhere. It’s all i think about when i wake, during the day, and my bed at night is a torture chamber. I’m now ashamedly hooked on 3 to 4 zopiclone per night. They’ve stopped working but i continue to take. Sure you can relate. Oddly, one night after i was up 24 hours after i didn’t sleep a minute the previous night after having no meds left, i took 2 meds the following night and slept 7 hours of deep sleep. Woke sleepy and slept another 2 hours. Have had no confidence to repeat it though and the cycle of 3 to 4 hours knocked out with 2 to 3 meds continues. Help. Thanks.
Nah it wasn’t those pills that made you sleep. It’s your own body that made you sleep all this time, and you slept well after those nights of not sleeping and the built-up sleep pressure and not from those pills. It doesn’t matter what you think or worry about all day, your body will make you sleep regardless, with or without the pills.
