I have had trouble sleeping for as long as I can remember. However, it has gotten worse and worse the older I get. It really got terrible when I became pregnant with twins. I expected this. My twins are now 6 years old and I cannot remember the last time I slept longer than 4 hours at one time. I have been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I use a CPAP. This doesn't seem to help. You name it, I've tried it to help me sleep. I was prescribed Ambien, but hate that I became addicted to them so fast. I also use Tylenol PM and Benadryl to help me get some sleep, but I am up to using 6 per night. And, again, this only provides me with 4 hours of sleep. I actually found Insomnia Land last night at 2 a.m. after tossing and turning for 2 1/2 hours. I need help. Seriously.

Hi Justis,

want to join us in the “Insomnia 2013” thread in the “Insomnia Help” section?

The forum is a little quiet at the moment, so it's nice to gather together in one spot 🙂

I too have had Insomnia for many, many years and struggled with it badly.

Are you doing Martin's 2 week insomnia email programme?

This has helped me HEAPS and made a big change in my sleep/ insomnia patterns.

Hope to hear more from you!

I have not tried any non-pharmaceutical approaches, but at this point I am open to anything!!

Well certainly the CPAP won't be helping any – but that being said, it's important to use if you're suffering from sleep apnea.

It's often helpful to re-evaluate your sleep hygiene. Have you signed up for my sleep training course yet?
