Hi Recovery, sorry you’re going through it too! It’s so hard to deal with.
My original sleep window was 1:00AM-6:30AM. Over a few weeks I progressed to 11:30PM-6:00AM. I switched the wakeup to 6 because my partner started waking up earlier.
Now that I am having trouble with early awakening I will try a window of 12:00AM-6:00AM. I hope pushing the bedtime back to midnight again will help me not wake up early at 5AM. If that doesn’t help after some time then I will restart SRT with a 1:00AM bedtime again, which sounds horrible to me but I’m sure I will be able to handle it.Sometimes it can also be helpful not to check the time when you wake during the night since this can increase arousal and make it harder to fall back to sleep.

Thank you for the reply Martin. I stopped looking at the time when I wake up. Just off to the bathroom and back then right into bed.
The insomnia has changed again, now I wake up feeling jolted and anxious everyday around 5:30-6AM. If I lay in bed, my body feels like adrenaline is going through it continuously. Hard to want to get up when the mornings are so cold here but at least I’m not groggy until 10AM like before. Still decreasing sleep medication slowly. I feel tired all day but trying to deal with it.
