Thanks Larry, I just downloaded Dr Claire Weekes
“Hope and Help for Your Nerves “
Looking forward to a great listen!Tess, thank you for sharing you and your husband’s journey. It was hard in the beginning before I signed up for Martin’s program for my husband to understand what actually happens with insomnia, you can’t just tell yourself to go to sleep.
I know I will also soon be sleeping peacefully again after reading your story, very hopeful!
C5 yes life is more about being awake than sleeping. Last night I did not get sleep, but had many things to get done both at home and away this morning.
I remembered that Martin suggests we live a “normal life” when I thought about that this am, I immediately got busy, and feel great, you will too!Thank you Larry, I just installed the app Abide and am listening.
Finished week one, and have found that I need to stick to the sleep window of not getting into bed until I am sleepy. I only did this the first few nights, and your statement of a long term approach makes so much sense. Seems like one or two bad nights then one or two good nights, and that is with taking gabapentin and benadryl, know that I will learn more techniques in week 2.Martin, Can I read or play card games on my phone in bed if I have not been able to fall asleep in my sleep window? Or should I stay out of bed and do those activities in another room….does it really make a difference?
Just joined about an hour ago…..Last night was a rough one….that is what convinced me to take the leap and get excited about a program that has helped so many….I have many worries, was diagnosed with lung cancer 1 year ago and had radiation. I truly feel I am cancer free, but still it is scary….I am having another PET scan soon and have scanxiety!
So glad that Martin does not require a sleep diary….tried one last night, but I could not fill in the boxes because I did not go to sleep,at least the best to my knowledge…..I am confident being in this program will get me back to where I was, being able to sleep 4 months ago…..It’s also great to be with a group that understands what each one of us are going through…instead of someone saying you can tell yourself to go to sleep! Not so……
