You're right, Jay. I don't think there is a way to know that at present. I just see if someone has recently tweeted to determine whether or not they're likely about and able to respond. As Insomnia Land grows, I hope to introduce a live chat feature.

Thanks for sharing, Darrin. I'd be interested in hearing from other members who try these tips or give the entire program a try.

I would suggest taking a sick day. I understand your hesitation, though – since most don't understand what insomnia really is or just how debilitating it can be. Driving while sleepy is dangerous and (in my opinion) you shouldn't take the risk.

Nicole, please keep us updated and try not to lose hope. Have you tried to find a sleep specialist to see if it would be helpful to target your insomnia as a separate condition rather than something linked to your depression?

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Nikki and thank you for introducing yourself. Do you find your bouts of sleeplessness to be triggered by anything in particular, or do they just appear at random?
Just remember you aren't alone – we are all here to support you. I look forward to reading more of your posts and getting to know you better.

Thanks for sharing and please do keep us updated with your friend's progress. $1500 sure is an expensive experiment!

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Nicole. As you have already seen, you don't need to suffer alone or in silence. We are all here for you and our members know what you are going through.
I am glad to hear that you're visiting a sleep specialist – this may give you an avenue to explore that doesn't involve medication. Have you heard of (or tried) cognitive behavioral therapy? If not, it may be worth investigating and talking to the sleep specialist about.
Don't give up hope. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. I look forward to getting to know you better.

Thanks for sharing! Do let us know how you get on in the long term with this – are you listening to the tracks each night now, or just when you struggle to fall asleep?

Welcome to the Insomnia Land community and thanks for sharing your tips. It's interesting on the reading fronts as many 'experts' advise against reading as it keeps the brain active. They also feel that reading in bed is a big no-no as the bedroom should be associated only with sleep (and love making). I find reading sends me off, though!
Do tell us more about your insomnia. How long have you been dealing with it and how much sleep do you normally manage?

'MarinaFournier' wrote on '27:BTW, if you ever try any Rhum Agricole, it will not be smooth and sweet. I found out by trying some, and thinking it was Islay singlemalt. I took it to my pusher today, and he told me, no, it was rhum, after it had been aged in certain barrel woods. It depends on whether the casks are new, or previously filled, as to what elements will end up in the spirit. I opted to exchange it (he had a customer who lusted after this item, which is in short supply) for another rum (yes, the 'h' does mean something, I just forget what), a Demarara (like the sugar–same ingredient). If only I could find a rum that tasted like Butter Rum Lifesavers, I could be very happy.
I tried Bowmore Single Malt Scotch Whisky once but I couldn't take the smokiness. It was like drinking a cigar.
I do like Aberlour. I don't really know much about whiskey – I need to try more different types.

That's brilliant! Did you get to meet the owners of the house?! 😆

'MarinaFournier' wrote on '26:Were birch twigs involved, too? I've heard that Finns do sauna the way you've described it, and I think after the dip, return to the sauna and use the birch twigs for something I've managed to forget. I'm afraid what I know of Finnish sauna practice came from a monologue decades ago, by Garrison Keillor, before he recited a poem about The Finn Who Would Not Take A Sauna. Me, I can't breathe air that hot, and I am not ever likely to join the 200 Degree Club in Antarctica.
Fortunately there weren't any birch twigs involved!
'MarinaFournier' wrote on '26:2. I went from liqueurs and sweet cocktails only to Islay singlemalt whisky in one fell swoop. It was love at first sip with Laphroaig. Peaty, phenolic alcoholic bog water!
Have you tried Glenfiddich? I love that stuff.

Thanks Peter. I haven't heard anything about the effectiveness of these online courses of CBT for insomnia even though I've had my ear to the ground for quite some time.
