Thanks so much for your reply it’s really helpful! Without zopiclone I tend to only get 2-3 hours a night if that and it will be early hours of the morning (after about 2am) I find it so hard to keep occupied until this time when there are so many hours to kill after dinner. I think I definitely need to work on my sleep drive as my job is sedentary and a daily walk doesn’t seem to be enough to tire me out, I’ll try to stick to bed after 1am and getting up at 6.30am daily, I have only managed about 1 or 2 nights of 7+ hours in the last 2 months and they were days I spent in London the whole day or if I had been on a night out and got in at about 1-2am anyway. The emails from Martin are very detailed and helpful so I am hopeful that in time this will settle & I’ll start sleeping for longer. Do you use a sleep diary? I have been trying to do that via the Sleepio app (cbt-I app in the UK) but the sessions are only once a week.
Thank you! I’ll definitely have a read through, my doctor was very quick to prescribe me with zopiclone which works very well and I find myself taking one after a few restless nights when I’m totally exhausted and it puts me back to square one! I know it can’t be taken long term so am working on a better routine and maybe see if going to bed after about 1am helps. It’s so difficult when all you think about all day is not sleeping/tired and get into bed wide awake and worrying! I will listen to the podcast too as lots of people have found this helpful. As horrible as it is to be suffering it’s nice to know you’re not the only one at times ?
