Hello Darrin,
I can completely relate to your post and I have suffered for many of the same symptoms and anxiety related to NOT falling asleep at night. The approach you are using sounds like CBT – Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. I did this for a few weeks and found this to be very helpful. It is fair to say that you need to give yourself a break. It took a while for you to get to this point and it is going to take time for your body and mind to re-adjust. It will not be smooth and you will have set backs. These are the normal ups and downs of the process. Take solace in the fact that I am 60% to 80% better than where I was a year ago. I still have a bad night here or there, but nothing like I used to. Give it time and most importantly, DO NOT GIVE UP on it. It will happen and it may take a different path to get there.
You had mentioned the Australian pscychologist who developed 8 golden rules on sleep hygiene. I would love to read that if you could send me a link or a copy of that.
Much Thanks!
Aimee, I can completely relate to your situation. I am currently going through a good period but I know that I am merely one sleepless night away from startign my next bad cycle. Hang in there and do not ever give up hope. I truly believe that staying positive will not only help you out while going through a bad cycle, it may keep the good cycle going longer. May you get those zzzzzzzzzzzzz's 🙄
