Welcome, I think your in the right place to gain understanding of your situation and overcome it (or to let it pass on by to be more descriptively accurate 🙂)Good luck.
I’m new but I’ve been exposed to a few similar programs in the past that I couldn’t fully buy into or commit to because there was always something missing in them that I couldn’t really identify. It seemed that all the pieces of the puzzle weren’t present somehow. I feel differently about this program after the moderate exposure I’ve experienced so far. Honesty, I was considering taking advantage of the 2 week refund policy and seeing what I could do with 2 weeks of exposure but I now think that would be a poor decision (especially since I can’t advance past week 2 in that time frame). Even if that weren’t the case, I’m really enjoying and finding a lot of value in the forum and Martins timely responses to my inquiries. Additionally, like you , I’m sure there will be snags that require direct support and instruction in the future. Overall I’m confident that you (and I) are making the right decision. Another advantage to paying for a program is that if you invest $$$$ , you’re more likely to take comitt and follow through. Good luck.
I settled on 1130-6 and lay night was out by 1140ish, I woke up over for the bathroom and then again and got out of bed, avoided looking at the clock and was just beginning some relaxation when my alarm went off. It was an interesting experience as O could have definitely gone back to sleep a little later (30 minutes – 1 hour). I went ahead and got going though but I have in to a quick nap from 115-130 today. I’ve been taking long naps for a while now and althyI refrained yesterday and over the weekend (work) I couldn’t resist. However, I didn’t set an alarm, I was just going to sleep as much as my body/brain wanted/needed but fortunately that was only 15 minutes, a cat nap with my cats 🙄
Well, the first awakening almost always involves urination and after that I can usually go back to sleep pretty easily.. The issue I really have is that subsequent awakenings are exacerbated by my Kratom (a partial opiate derivative) addiction and as the night goes on my body and mind become more tense through withdrawal. The second awakening is usually between 3 and 4 and at that point I “have” to get out of bed take a dose and go through a 50 minutes light yoga/stretching routine combined with parasympathetic breathing while listening to music or a podcast and then lay back down. I’ve been in denial about this being my primary problem because I was experiencing maintenance insomnia before the Kratom usage but at this point after realizing how normal it is to wake up through the night and learning how to let go of the effort to return to sleep,I think it may be the cornerstone of my problem. It’s really a problem unto itself that’s spilling over into sleep.
