Thanks Martin – appreciate your effort in collating all these responses.
What I understand from these conversations is that it generally took these people 3-6 months to be free of insomnia.
What i was really asking (and should have been more specific) was how long it takes to have several consecutive nights of restorative sleep and energized the day after. Some days I wake and feel refreshed and come lunchtime, I am dead tired/fatigued*.
So is the answer to my refined question the same? 3-6 months.
* BTW I struggle to separate tired and fatigued so lumped them together.
HI Panfan – I found the AWAKE exercise very useful for onset. I also tried it when I woke during the night but I was not struggling so the AWAKE exercise made me more awake. I have since relistened to Martin and worked out that I should have not used it when not struggling. I think the trigger for using the AWAKE exercise is when you are in fact struggling – say 15mins or so of lying awake and not sleeping.
Thoughts?Hi Elkie – I am in a similar situation to you.
I find that if I don’t take a nap early afternoon I cannot build the pressure later in the day. i.e. it is near impossible to stay awake around dinner time and that later nap will impact my sleep window of 11pm – 5am.I expect that over time with this therapy that my sleep window will replace any need for a nap during the day.
Hope that helps!
KR – Jeremy
