Sometimes it seems like I can’t sleep because of something organic going on with my body such as neurotransmitter or hormonal issues. It’s hard to find a doctor that can look at these levels, and things like vitamin and mineral levels, to help determine whether my body has what it needs to produce the chemicals for sleep.
Many people with chronic insomnia, quite understandably, believe that there might be a chemical imbalance in the brain or that there is a medical condition that is perpetuating their sleep disruption.
The fact of the matter is that, when it comes to chronic insomnia disorder, sleep disruption is perpetuated by our sleep-related thoughts and behaviors (one of which might be a concern that there is a medical cause of our insomnia).
So, if medical issues have been ruled out, I’d suggest looking into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) since that will help address the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate sleep disruption.
I have yet to come across anyone who has found their chronic insomnia was permanently cured by a supplement or vitamin, or that a chemical imbalance was to blame for their sleep issues.
I hope this helps!
