I have had insomnia for years, can go for months without any problems and then I start sleeping less each night until it gets to the stage where I am unable to sleep at all. I suffer with depression and anxiety so this does not help.. get into bed and anxiety takes over brain starts racing and will not shut down. I am so tired and really do not know what to do any more, any suggestions out there guys.

Years have come and gone despite having insomnia. And nothing has happened, you are still able to come here and type sentences onto this forum. It’s really up to you. You can choose to be anxious and worry about sleep. Or you can choose to ignore it and go on your life as usual. Either way sleep will still happen regardless. But you’d have carried this unpleasant feeling over nothing because nobody ever has ANY control over sleep at all

Know the same feeling. Forgive the pun but I am tired of feeling so upset and helpless when I awake in the early hours and do not go back to sleep. As the previous post stated though, none of us controls sleep. It is our runaway response that keeps us awake. Sleep is lying there patiently waiting for us. I try and put my arousal feeling in a separate thought and let them blow away. By no means great at it but when I get on a good roll the sleeping is great. Both of us can do it!

Welcome to the forum, Ann! When do you usually go to bed at night, when do you get out of bed to start your day in the morning, and how many hours of sleep would you say you get on an average night?
