@Chee2308 You mentioned, “Whenever a sleep thought creeps up to you, you find a way to just let it go.”
What worked for you, how did you let go?
Thank you Martin for your reply. I think responding to thoughts about sleep has been my biggest challenge, both during the day and at night.
I struggle with accepting what I am hearing and responding in such a way that will eventually minimize the presence of the thoughts all together.
My latest response is that you can’t control sleep and “it is what it is.” While I absolutely desire great sleep every night, since I can’t control sleep anyway, why am I investing any energy into it in the first place?
I’ve also responded with God made me with the ability to sleep. I was a great sleeper before insomnia struck. There is nothing physically wrong with me and I don’t have anything to worry about.
Last night I had one of the roughest nights I’ve had in awhile. The presence of insomnia seems to occur in waves where I will get back on track for a week or two but then I let the thoughts back in and fall off the wagon. Any recommendations on how to respond to the thoughts during the day and night would be very helpful. I appreciate all the help from this forum and podcasts. You absolutely rock and are a big part of the reason insomnia hasn’t completely taken my life.
