I would love to hear about your experience with SC..it is the hardest part for me..I have sleep onset insomnia and the sleep restriction is challenging but hasn’t been that hard and I am even sort of use to it now..I still have such a hard time with SC..On those few bad nights I am still having, I lay there and sleep surf through the night instead of getting up for the SC part…I do not feel like I will be healed until I get this part of the therapy executed properly..can you weigh in?

I am doing CBT-I right now and finally feel like I am turning a corner..I still have a night per week that is pretty bad and it is hard to not get upset and feel like the CBT-I isn’t working…how long did it take for you to stop having the bad nights totally..also, how often did you have to do SC while you were doing CBT-I…SC is the hardest part for me as I feel like a zombie in the middle of the night and I can’t think straight.

Hi Echo,
This is my exact issue for the last 5 months..the dreaded “sleep anxiety”…I have always been a little anxious but never had sleep issues..I spent thousands with a functional doc thinking it was pre menopause or something physical but was finally dx with “sleep anxiety” after seeing a psychologist..I have tried all natural remedies and nothing has helped…I started CBT-I 5 days ago and its not really been effective yet…can you share how long it takes to help? How long was it before you started having relapses? Do you still adhere to the rules strictly? I feel so desperate..

Hi, I am new here as well and have had insomnia very bad for 5 months..I have sleep onset insomnia and bad “sleep anxiety”..what does your insomnia stem from? Have you tried any natural remedies? None have worked for me thus my reason for joining and trying CBT-I.
