      I’m an insomnic for over 15 years, i have been on melatonin which could help me to fall asleep but tend to wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back asleep again. The rest of the night is like shallow/broken sleep. And this has seriously impacted my mood and productivity in the day.

      Any useful tip for that? Much appreciated!

        Hi @Luisa1989, welcome!

        What’s your current schedule for sleep – what time do you go to bed and get out of bed to start your day? Do you only go to bed when you’re sleep or do you go to bed at a set time each night? Since sleep-related pills and supplements don’t target the root cause of our insomnia – thoughts and behaviors – it’s no surprise you haven’t experienced long-term success with melatonin.

        Our day shouldn’t be determined by how we slept the previous night though. Have you ever had a bad day after achieving great sleep the night before? What if you didn’t sleep at all tonight but woke tomorrow learning that you just won a $10 million lottery – you’ll probably have a good day, right? What activities could you engage in every day that would bring joy to your life instead of dwelling on your sleep issue?
