I’m going to plan on going to bed when tired , as Martin said in a recent email. Still getting up at 6. Much better than agonizing and staying up till midnight!
Thanks for your response Scott.
I have implemented CBTI for 5 weeks. The first week 3-4 hours sleep avg. since then only 1-2 hours.
The sleep restriction window of 6 hours has been too tight
for me. Especially when I’m up 3-4 times a night for 30 to 60 minutes or longer. Returning to bed when tired.I have good sleep drive, and feel fairly relaxed when I go to bed.
When I lay down sleep does not come. I am assuming that there is still anxiety not allowing me to sleep. CBTI seems to bring more stress. If there are specific examples where events like this were overcome with CBTI, I’d love to learn about the specifics.Thanks for the response Scott.
I’m not sure CBTI will in itself overcome the arousal I’m experiencing due to body trauma like the choke out events I described. Do you have specific examples where it did? Would really help me to know it worked for others.Thank you Scott. I utilize stimulus control and get out of bed, and read. I have found it helpful to get out of bed when uncomfortable or feeling unrestful. Not every 15-20 minutes when not sleeping.
I find this very interesting! I have been utilizing stimulus control so,
As I understand it, my mind does not link the bed with awake stress.
In my 6 hour window, I am usually up 3 times at an hour each time.
No wonder I only get 1-2 hours of sleep a night!
This thread sounds like stimulus control may not be necessary at all??
