      Hi guys

      My insomnia was triggered 5 weeks ago, thankfully I came across the insomnia podcast when I did . I haven’t fully signed up yet because I did think it hasn’t been too long and maybe I can get back to routine quicker than others . My worst bout was four days of no sleep and ended in hospital . I decided medication wasn’t for me and since then have been getting about 4 hours a night . Two nights ago I went to bed with little to no anxiety and ended up with a Lovely 7 hours ! I thought I was cured ! Then last night the anxiety crept in and kept me up and up and I think I faded away eventually around 2:30am waking at 6:00 for the sunrise which I do regardless of sleep . This setback has really upset me and now the fear of tonight is creeping in again 🙁 I’m worried this is going to just go on and on and on

        Welcome to the forum! It sounds as though you’ve learned a lot on your journey. You made the decision that medication wasn’t for you and, with that decision, you learned that your body can generate seven hours of sleep without medication. You’ve also learned that anxiety comes and goes — so trying to fight or avoid it might not be a workable strategy.

        What do you feel is the best way to respond to those nights when sleep doesn’t happen as you want it to, based on what you’ve learned so far?
