My first bout of insomnia was when I was 28, while weaning my first child. It would go away each time I became pregnant five times over the next 11 years, then return after weaning. Ambien and trazodone helped but Cbti has been the best. I do have frequent relapses though which are worst just before my periods. Any other women have this?

Sleep disruption linked to hormonal changes isn’t particularly unusual. As long as you don’t try to compensate for those short-term difficulties by doing things like spending more time in bed, your sleep will almost always get right back on track all by itself.

I’m so glad to hear you tried cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and found it helpful. When you are able to avoid implementing thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate insomnia, insomnia can never become a long term problem.
