Yes, this helps a lot! I am definitely not trying to sleep, just laying there comfortably with the light on. Sometimes I read a little. Thanks for the response!
I know you’re never truly free from it. I had insomnia for 3 months in 2008 and then again for 2 weeks in 2021. Other than that i slept well. I didn’t expect it to come back in 2023, this time for 4 months. But i understand i am maybe more susceptible to sleep issues than someone else. I am hoping because of the tools i learn here, that even when i am “cured” when i have the inevitable bad night or 2 I don’t let it spiral out of control anymore. Just to need to accept it for what it is. And remember that we are human and ever once has bad nights, its how we react to them that leads to what happens next.
Oh I forgot, I even had a coffee at 3pm like I always used to. I love coffee. Why am i depriving myself of something I love. All it does is reinforce I have a problem and I need to do all of these things and remove things i love to correct the problem. That being said, I am not going to have an espresso at 10pm, that could be sabotage. We just need some common sense. If I always used to have a coffee at 3pm prior to my sleep issues why am i eliminating it now? Its not like eliminating it was making me sleep better!
wow great post! So happy for you that you beat insomnia. Your post gives hope to others so thank you
Great post, lots of insight here. How is your sleep now? How many hours a night do you get?
