I think I got insomnia when I was teaching. I had toxic administrators that really didn’t like teachers and the stress was unbelievable. When I finally retired I had nightmares for over a year. It was like I had PTSD. I am not having the nightmares anymore, thank goodness, but the insomnia is still with me. That is really the only reason that I can think of for the sleep problems. Now, I have hope because my stress is gone.

Hello Donna Marie and welcome to the forum! If we find that sleep issues linger even when the initial cause of the insomnia is no longer an issue, that can be because our sleep-related thoughts and behaviors have changed in a way that makes conditions more difficult for sleep to occur — so it’s often helpful to explore those thoughts and behaviors.

I am glad to hear that the nightmares are gone and that you are no longer dealing with that awful teaching situation!
