Hi, i have been having issues with insomnia for 6 months since i become ill with a chest infection. It’s changed over the last six months. At first i would wake coughing at 3am and not get back to sleep. I started keeping a diary since 1st May i have had 5 days with no sleep. I was quite shocked by this and it made me want to act to get some help as it was so hard the next day. I don’t want to go to the doctor and get sleeping tablets. So i read about CBTI this weekend and how it can help. I also managed to find a CBT coach based near me and i have signed up for some initial talks next Saturday. I want to see if this coach/ councillor and see if this will work for me. He shows insomnia as one of his listed areas to help.
I listened to 2 of the podcasts this weekend and they really helped me. It’s good to hear other people have the same worries/ stresses. I will listen to some more of them.
I love reading before going to bed. It’s my real way to relax. I meditate 20 minutes every day which helps me a lot.
I am really looking forward to getting my sleep back on track. I will never take it for granted again as i did for so many years.
Thanks for providing this forum.Welcome to the forum, Pds1969!
Although five days with no sleep can be quite concerning, this also means that you have experienced far more nights with sleep than without sleep!
I am glad to hear that you are planning on implementing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to help you identify and fix the sleep-related thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate insomnia!
You CAN sleep and you do not need sleeping pills to sleep!
