Re: Insomnia is destroying me
Hi insomnia is the pits, I've had in in various forms for over 30 years and am still alive, I don't have diabetes or cancer and I'm not insane (yet)!!
It sounds like yours could be a short term thing that most people get from time to time and that your sleep cycle has been disrupted. Alcohol can do this with some people and eating late at night etc. There are some natural products you can try, that aren't habit forming (ask your chemist).
Worrying about not sleeping is a vicious cycle, as the more you worry the less you sleep and the less you sleep, the more you worry. The stress from anxiety (about not sleeping) is worse than the actual lack of sleep.
My Dr told me that sleep cycles go in blocks of about two hours, we wake and go back to sleep again but don't remember it especially when we're young. As we age we wake up and remember waking up.
I'm sure things will settle down for you and that other people will have some more information and tips. Stay calm.
