      Hello All,

      Looking for others experiences. My severe insomnia started a couple years ago. Over the past 6 months have followed Martin’s videos, podcasts and emails and my sleep has improved some. I have gone from sleeping 2-4 hours a night to 5-6 hours per night but still have some bad periods. Still taking 1 mg of Lunesta at night (down from 2mg) and working to wean off of it. The problem is how I feel in the morning. Have explained to MD’s but no one seems to understand. I almost always have some level of significant brain fog until the early afternoon. If I have a day or two of limited sleep (3-4) hours, it is followed by a couple days of significant brain fog, general anxiety during the day, and thoughts and emotions that are all over the place. This generally goes away after a couple nights of sleeping better. The really strange thing is that when I have a rare night of really good sleep (7-8 hours without really waking up), I feel really bad the next day as well with brain fog, anxiety, strange thoughts and emotions. This is the thing that is keeping me from progressing past where I am. A bad night of sleep or a really good night of sleep has me feeling REALLY terrible for a couple days both mentally and physically. I could deal with just being tired but it is much more than that. Anyone else experience this?
