I’ve been having sleep problems on and off since May when I started to get a divorce. It feels like it’s been getting worse and recently I average about 5 hours a night. I feel really anxious about whether I can continue to function and the effects. All the websites I look at talk a great deal about how terrible it is not to sleep but that just puts more pressure on me and makes me feel worse. I think at this stage I’d just like to know I’m not alone.
Hello Cam37. Welcome to the forum, and let me reassure you that you aren’t alone, that you don’t have to live with insomnia, that your sleep system isn’t “broken”, and that you have not lost the ability to sleep.
It’s normal to feel anxious about the effects of insomnia because the media bombards us with terrifying headlines. Yet, not one single study has found that chronic insomnia causes any health problem whatsoever (if you are still concerned about this, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of Dr Daniel Erichsen’s short book “Why We Don’t Sleep“).
Can you tell us a bit more about your current sleep pattern? When do you normally go to bed at night, and when do you normally get out of bed to start your day? Do you typically find it hard to fall asleep at the start of the night, or stay asleep throughout the night?
