Thank you Martin. That is very helpful. I have been practising some stimulus control, and waiting until feeling sleepy before bed as well as just getting on with my life and enjoying myself as much as I can in the day. What I have noticed is that the sleeping tablet works much better if I practice stimulus control, calming down at night and getting on with my life and enjoying myself as much as possible during the day. I am also sleeping the whole time I am in bed, getting up by 8am every morning and not sleeping in the day. I think the next step for me is probably learning to accept and get used to wakefulness at night for when I wean off the zopiclone. In a sense how to learn to have a bad night without increasing the drama, fear and angst around the whole process. I am also making a lot of progress in healing my trauma memories with EMDR and that will help things along too I am sure. There is hope.
