I have struggled for more than 4 years. But i have begun my recovery journey. This gives me a lot of hope and happiness
But i am still facing a little problem. My brain is used to the frustration of not sleeping well. So, when i begun to have good nights of sleep (after following Mr. Martin advices), my brain considered it as: TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
My brain is still considering these good nights of sleep as something unusual and strange. It does not believe it! So, from time to time, i am experiencing palpitations after sleeping well and some anxiety during the day.
Is this normal?
It certainly sounds like you’re experiencing success in implementing CBT-I techniques! It’s understandable that these occasional setbacks would cause some concern but try not to let a few nights of difficult sleep change what you’re doing. Typically, the best way to react to a challenging night(s) of sleep is to not react at all since it’s our thoughts and behaviors that can perpetuate the sleep concern. You’ve been experiencing insomnia for 4 years so try to be patient with CBT-I while your brain relearns how not to be anxious about sleep.
Hope that helps!
