I’ve been struggling with insomnia for about 3 years so I know how you feel! It’s hard! I have tried SO many different ways to get help, but I feel the information on this site has been the most beneficial and I’m so thankful to have found it, just a few weeks ago. I am doing Martin’s free course, but it sounds like the 8 week course is really worth the money. My advice is to read and implement all you can on this site, if you haven’t already, and sign up for one of his courses. If your insomnia is fairly new it may be easier to get rid of than someone who’s had it for a long time. Prayers for you.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thanks for your thoughts, Steve. Yes, I am doing the free course. My SW is 6 hours right now. Last night I slept about 5, which is less than most nights and I didn’t feel very good much of the day. I think I’ll try increase my SW 15 minutes and if it doesn’t go well I’ll increase it in 5 minute increments if I have to! I’ll try not worry about the numbers though of course it’s easier said than done!</p>
I am newer here. Been doing SR and SC for almost 2 weeks. Though I’m still tired and am not getting enough sleep, it is much better quality. I’ve had some nights here and there where I wake up too early. I notice that my few nights of less sleep make me nervous, even though I’ve had had more good nights than bad. Do you guys feel this way? It’s so easy to focus on the bad nights.
Though I’ve had plenty of nights with good sleep efficiency, the bad ones have dragged my weekly averages down. I’m at 86% for a weekly average and I think I’ll increase my sleep window by 15 minutes. But I’m nervous to do it. My weekly average isn’t bad but I would like it higher… am I getting too hung up on the numbers?
I also have very dark under eyes, looks like someone gave me two black eyes. It’s hard to not be self conscious about it. I felt even worse when I saw a picture of myself some years back. My skin was a normal color under my eyes!
I also would like to hear how others deal with this issue.
