I would like to avoid having that first totally sleepless night .
If I do have one, then I would like to stop the cycle in its tracks
and not repeat itself the next night, and escalate into 3,4,5 etc .(After one sleepless night, my sleepiness seems to dissappear like it has been “dislocated”(like a shoulder gets dislocated), my mind also feels different, and I become convinced and resigned that I am going into a new cycle).
I would like to undo these feelings, the anxiety , the “new” state of mind and just be confident the next night)(however ,factually,historically ,that first bad night has invariably precipitated a new cycle ).
After having 2 or 3 or 4 sleepless nights in a row, I feel terrible and hopeless. There does not seem any logical reason why the following night can be any different.

I guess I am still not answering your question satisfactorily, but in a nutshell I need a new strategy somehow not let that first sleepless night turn into two and three and four, the next time it happens.
