Hey bud first of all i would like to thank you for this form. People like us have so many questions and doctors have no answers at all.
I have not slept longer than four hours straight in a year and i was wondering if sleep restriction works for terminal insomnia or mid morning awakenings or whatever i have ?
Also have you know anyone that has gotten results witha bright light box for getting a couple extra hours of sleep at the end of the night? I have read that a couple studys have been done with good results for midmorning insomnia.
CBT-I can help with early-morning awakenings if you wake during the night and find it hard to fall back to sleep due to high levels of worry/anxiety or just a racing mind.
CBT-I can also be helpful since it helps you allot an appropriate amount of time for sleep at night — if you are allotting too much time for sleep (or not following a regular sleep window) you may have insufficient sleep drive to help you fall back to sleep when you wake during the night.
Lightboxes can be helpful for circadian rhythm sleep disorders but, by themselves, aren’t really a solution for insomnia. A lightbox can be used in the evening as a strategy for delaying sleep if you struggle with microsleeps.
