Read the effortless sleep method by Sasha Stephens and then her second book the effortless sleep companion. They will help you
Exactly you are still searching for physical causes for your insomnia. You don’t sleep because you are terrified of not sleeping! This high anxiety is keeping you awake. Have you read my previous replies? You need to change your behaviour and your thoughts and beliefs about sleep. It cannot happen immediately but you do have the power to do this. And stop talking about suicide it is just another example of your negative thoughts and massive overreaction response to not sleeping. Many many many people with insomnia as bad as yours have been cured. You can do it and you can still keep good sleep hygiene if you work shifts. Stop obsessing and read my previous advice again
Frozensun the cause of your insomnia is yourself, not some dust allergy. While I accept that periods of sleepless can have a physiological cause. Long term chronic insomnia is largely bad habits relating to your behaviours, thoughts and beliefs about sleep. Sleeping pills are NEVER going to cure your insomnia. Your researching cures, taking pills, talking about and focusing only on how bad your problem is is keeping it firmly in place. You need to turn that around. I slept maybe 3 hours last night and I am celebrating! I am over the moon because it could easily have been another completely sleepless night. I am only focusing on the good bits of my sleep and telling myself that I am a good sleeper because eventually it will be true again. Have you had any good nights recently or slightly better nights? Focus on them and only them celebrate them! You can change your unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about sleep around. You just need to tell a different story. Quote from the book. We tend to focus on what we don’t want and what we focus on gets bigger. Also you probably have heard of sleep hygiene so stick to that too. Do you not have any online market places in your country where you can get those books. There is a good section for shift workers in the second book. The main principles of the book s are changing the negative behaviours, thoughts and beliefs about sleep to exactly the opposite to what you are doing now. The story you tell about your sleep will come true
I’m not sure about pdf versions. I have a kindle so read them on that. I really think these books can help you and I’m sure there must be a way you can access them in your country . You are massively negatively over reacting to your insomnia and therefore keeping it firmly in place. Insomnia is a fear of not sleeping after all. It is a mental problem there is nothing physically wrong with you. Most of what you are feeling when you haven’t slept is to do with the tension and anxiety and worry because you haven’t slept. Take that away and it’s just tiredness. Do not worry, you absolutely can get better. You are just looking in the wrong place. It is a mental problem and therefore it has a mental solution. I cured my chronic insomnia by reading these books several times. I slept amazing for 19 months and then it came back and I read the books again so I know I will get over it again. You just need to stop focusing on all the negative stuff about your sleep and only focus on the positive aspects. The quote from the author is the story you tell about your sleep will come true and it’s true
