Similar experience here. I get stuck when hyperarousal appears in the evening, seemingly out of nowhere – no other external stressors – leading to an all-nighter, maybe two in a row. Then I crash for a night or two, but then the evening hyperarousal returns. This ugly pattern repeats for a week or two, then my body surrenders for longer, unstuck for a few weeks of consistent sleep. But then, a very brief thought re-appears – what if I break this great rhythm and I cannot sleep tonight? Boom, just like that, the hyperarousal returns. I have been dealing with insomnia on and off again for 20+ years. Time to commit to structured change.
