I have insomnia for last 5 years. It started at the same time as my thyroid issues. Now thyroid levels are normal with medications but still I face Insomnia

I continue to take sleeping pills but want to try any natural method

[Chee2308]

The best natural remedy is self confidence. Normal sleepers don’t do anything special or take any pills to sleep because they really believe they can sleep. You need to regain this trust too in yourself by slowly tapering off your pills and be willing to experience some difficult nights in the beginning. Be brave, take that bold step and discover the new lushful bliss of natural restful sleep that lies beyond the horizons which you are so unwilling to venture into. Because you want to protect whatever sleep you have now and are unwilling to experience temporary unpleasantness, you are constantly missing the chance to improve your sleep forever. Short term pain for long term gain!

[Martin Reed]

Insomnia can stick around after the initial trigger is no longer relevant — often that’s because of a change in our sleep-related thoughts and behaviors. As Chee pointed out, this can involve a desire to control sleep or avoid wakefulness which, in turn, can make conditions more difficult for sleep and lead to less sleep confidence and more sleep-related worry.

I would suggest reading about cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to see if those techniques sound like they might be helpful!
