That’s what a nurse said to me the day my first child was born and I’d said I didn’t want the sleeping pill the nurse was offering. So I took the pill, had a good sleep but never had a good night’s sleep again. That was over 40 years ago. The only good sleep I’ve ever had since then has been with the help of sleeping pills or alcohol. It’s hellish.

What an awful thing to be told, Joon! The good news is that you *can* get a good night’s sleep again! It’s not surprising that you haven’t found sleeping pills to be helpful since they don’t address the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate sleep disruption. As I suspect you also realize, alcohol isn’t the answer (alcohol actually reduces sleep quality).

Have you looked into (or tried) cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)?
