      Hello, this is my first post!

      •My biggest sleep challenge is definitely calming down and falling asleep.

      •I think the causes of my sleep issues include but are not limited to high generalized anxiety daily, depression, a toxic home/family environment, and my chronic GI illness, which is accompanied by symptoms that worsen at nighttime.

      •I read a Teen Vogue article about insomnia and the author said this resource helped them a lot.

      •I’m concerned I’ll never be able to sleep normally. I’ve been having problems falling asleep since I was little and I’ve had chronic insomnia for about 10 years now.

        Welcome to the forum, csellars! First of all, let me say that you CAN sleep — regardless of how long you’ve had insomnia!

        If you find it hard to fall asleep at the start of the night, you might be going to bed before you are truly sleepy enough for sleep. It’s very easy to confuse fatigue (which isn’t a sign the body is ready for sleep) with sleepiness (finding it hard to stay awake).

        Can you tell us a bit more about your sleep at the current time? What time do you usually go to bed at night, what time do you get out of bed to start your day, and roughly how many hours of sleep would you say you get on an average night?

        If you are ready to stop struggling with insomnia you can enroll in the online insomnia coaching course right now! If you would prefer ongoing phone or video coaching calls as part of a powerful three month program that will help you reclaim your life from insomnia, consider applying for the Insomnia Clarity program.
