@Carls, thank you for your words of support. I wish you the best in dealing with your insomnia.

@Martin, thank you for your reply. I fell asleep not long after I took my medication, and every night since then I’ve slept fine. I’ve been practicing good sleep hygiene this week and will continue every night to do so, and I think my previous failure to do this (I often enjoyed sleeping during the day and being a night owl) is what contributed to my insomnia.

I haven’t asked my doctor about CBTI, as I only rarely have insomnia. But I will do so if you think it’s a good idea.

I’ve had regular checkups for years, and I don’t think my occasional insomnia is due to any sort of health issue other than OCD, which sometimes kicks in after a sleepless night, because I become obsessed with the fear of not being able to fall asleep the next night. But I take 200 mg of Zoloft every day, and I feel like my OCD is largely under control.

Again, thank you for your response, and I will certainly get back in touch with this forum if I have any further issues.
