      Hi everyone. I’ve had an ongoing issue with insomnia for over 2 years now. I’m currently having CBT and a mindfulness course. In the past I’ve been on several medications with no success, I rely on Zopiclone on the bad nights but my doctors are unwilling to continue prescribing so I’m worried I have nothing to fall back on. My main problem is sleep onset, I’ve had many nights where I’ve just been unable to drop off at all. I’ve also tried the sleepio online course

        You do have something to fall back on, Rachel — your natural ability to sleep! Ultimately, if we are awake for long enough we will ALWAYS sleep. Sleep drive ALWAYS wins in the end!

        If your main problem is sleep onset, you will likely find it very helpful to ensure you’re allotting an appropriate amount of time for sleep and to always get out of bed by the same time each day.

        Was this something you tried when you did the Sleepio course? What cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) techniques are you currently implementing?
