Have you tried CBTI? The first weeks were rough for me but reduced the length of wakeup and frequency of the wakeups or interrupted sleep.
from my post: I name a brief wakeup without getting out of bed, a ‘rollover.’ Using the sleep compression technique of CBTi, my wakeups are fewer and generally shorter. Using an icon on my cell to zip into Insomnia Coach relaxation tapes meant 3 wakeups were only brief rollovers, maybe 10-15 duration total. Hooray. (I prefer the brevity, content and the voice of these over ones I have used on YouTube, not to mention the ads waking me up when a YouTube is complete. Argh.). Anything that keeps me sleepy in bed is a victory over getting up and problem solving. I wish you a Happy Sleep.
Started Shuti but too many computer glitches causing an inordinately severe sleep window, which led to initial question. Now back to Tracking thru CBTi & lengthened sleep window, reducing symptom severity. Original problem of interrupted sleep improving except on pretravel nights and nights prior to eventfilled workdays. However now getting fewer hours of sleep per night due to early awakening, averaged 1.29 hours this week.
