First time in a sleepless forum. Just started looking into any kind of help as I was out one night recently and forgot my aid. It was a long sleepless night and a horrible next work day because of it. Been on Zopiclone cut in half (so 3.25mg) for years now. I’d say 7-10 years maybe.

As you know from experience, sleeping pills aren’t a long-term solution for insomnia. Have you looked into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)?

CBT-I techniques are a great long-term solution for insomnia because they address the sleep-related thoughts we have and the sleep-related behaviors we implement that actually perpetuate insomnia. These thoughts and behaviors perpetuate insomnia because they disrupt sleep drive, disrupt our body clock, and heighten arousal.

Changing the way you think about sleep and implementing appropriate sleep-related behaviors can address all these perpetuating factors and that’s why CBT-I techniques are so helpful.
