Hi suffering with insomnia at the moment which has led to depression and anxiety.some nights I don’t sleep at all Dr has given me promethazine which I take every 3rd night when I get about 6 hrs sleep.iv got every book on sleep hygiene and I realise that to sleep I have to be less anxious but it’s so difficult when I’m not sleeping at all I know there is no miracle cure but a bit of moral support wouldnt go amiss.currently having CBT 4weeks

Welcome to the forum, Joyadnil. Here’s the thing about ‘sleep hygiene‘ — it’s not an effective treatment for insomnia! Although observing good sleep hygiene is always a good idea, it’s unlikely to fix long-term, chronic insomnia.

What kind of CBT are you currently taking? Is it online or in-person? Is it general CBT, or are you taking CBT-I (which uses techniques specifically designed to address insomnia and improve sleep)?
