I gave up on idea of sleeping by 8 am. Working now. Insomnia is beyond a joke. Its a wonder I'm sane. (Shut up, certain men. Yes, you.)

For me, its been since I stopped taking heavily sedating neuro meds at night time. Keep thinking it will fix itself but months

Possible you came off them too quickly? Worth speaking to Dr?
-
Came off slowly & insomnia increased slowly. Had to. Damaging kidneys. It might just take a bit longer. Brain too active.
-
Yuk! Def worth a chat with Dr then...

Just standard advice about avoiding caffeine and screens after 6. I don't do the latter, I admit. Short-term sleeping pills.

Yes, although I often know I'm not going to sleep so I feel miserable rather than anxious.

:( One of my friends has heavy duty sleeping tablets she's never taken coz knowing she has them removes the fear of insomnia!

Why not?
I doesn't work for me. Nothing will make me sleep, not even total exhaustion. -
Doesn't sound psychological, does it? Can be for me. I get angry with myself, life, the universe in anticipation of it!
