The insomnia fight has become a major source of depression for me.

I would love some hope. Would anyone be willing to share their success?

Hi, in the post quarantine I suffered from insomnia, I could not fall asleep and I became anxious and depressed because of it. I spent several nights completely blank and so I decided to do CBT-I. I am now two weeks away from it and I feel much better. I can sleep 7-8 hours a night and I have learned to manage bad nights. Don’t be discouraged, you will do it!

Hi Virgie, I have had sleep problems for many years. This does not mean you will (I had huge emotional issues, etc.). I mention it only because I have learned some coping mechanisms. So while I don’t sleep great every night, things do get better.

—-As best you can, try not to see it as a “fight” against insomnia. Trying harder, giving it all you’ve got can help us succeed in many areas, but not here.

—-Try not to put too much stock in your thoughts. When we are tired, all sort of weird thoughts can pop into your head.

—-I know mindfulness meditation is all the rage, and there are some exaggerated claims. But I have found it helpful. A couple of free websites: palousemindfulness.com / mindfulness northwest.com (oops, they might be .org)

—-I hope you stick with Martin’s website, he has some good observations on all of this.

I love the positivity here!
