      Hello! I am happy to be part of your community. I’m sure I will get a lot of useful information from you.

      Insomnia comes into my life from time to time. But with nervous tension, it always becomes my best friend. Standard soothing doesn’t help in this case.

      But the peak of my insomnia came when I had a dream of a dog that bites me. At 5 years old, a dog bit me, so I’m very afraid of them. But many years later, I suppressed this fear within myself. But the brain decided to play a cruel joke with me. After this dream, I did not sleep for a week at all. Neither sleeping pills nor other methods helped. Only a psychologist helped. But I, unfortunately, did not think to go to him immediately after the nightmare.

        Welcome to the forum. Some of us are a bit more predisposed to sleep disruption — but that doesn’t mean that one night of poor sleep has to lead to a long-term problem with sleep.

        As long as we don’t react to short-term sleep disruption, we allow our sleep to recover by itself — and it will usually do so relatively quickly.

        It’s usually only when we respond to a poor night of sleep and then do things in a bid to compensate for a bad night or to improve our sleep that sleep issues stick around for longer than they otherwise would.
