Hi. I’ve been suffering from insomnia for the past 12 years. The main issue with my sleep has mainly been sleep maintenance. I always woke up in the middle of the night and wasn’t able to go back to sleep until 2 months ago. Recently, since 2 months ago, I’ve had problems falling asleep as well. This means I can’t get any sleep at all. I have tried CBT in the past and it used to help. But this time around, nothing helps. I have tried CBT, breathing exercises, acupuncture, naturopathic remedies, CBD oil, etc…. I’m so desperate and frustrated about this and each night I look forward to being able to sleep again like I used to before 12 years ago. I hope by joining this forum, I learn something that might help.
It can definitely feel as though you aren’t getting any sleep at all, but it’s impossible to go without any sleep whatsoever because the body will always give us — at the very least — the bare minimum amount of sleep we need.
Very often, if we have a lot of concern and worry about sleep, we not only get less sleep than we want, but we can also believe we are getting less sleep than we actually are. In any case, taking steps to reduce arousal can be really helpful.
Here’s a short video about paradoxical insomnia if you think this might be something worth exploring further!
