Cbti has truly been working so well for me, with most nights sleeping 7.5hrs. However, I STILL have these “straggler” nights, where I only sleep around 5hrs. This happens about every 7-10 days. That’s still better than I used to sleep, but I am tired the next day and it’s frustrating that it doesn’t seem to be improving. Is this something that will eventually stop? Any advice?
Welcome to the forum, @Enabeling!
I’m glad to hear that your efforts implementing CBT-I techniques have been beneficial for you! I don’t know the history of your insomnia but you shouldn’t beat yourself up after having an occasional night of sleep disruption. It’s been 2 years since I resolved my sleep issues, but will still have an occasional night of fragmented sleep or wakefulness but I don’t allow it to affect the following day. I find that those nights are most notable when I travel and am going to bed in a different environment but I don’t dwell on them and continue my day as normally as possible.
Are there activities that you can engage in following a tough night that could improve the quality of your day? The better you can make your day, the less pressure you might put on yourself to sleep better/longer the next night.
Hope that helps,
