insomniatic since grade school

I don't have as big of problem with insomnia as you do, but I do go through bouts of it from time to time. I have found that if I do some calming things before bed time than I am able to fall asleep and stay asleep. What works best for me is taking a nice calming warm bath an hour before I go to bed, than when I get out of the bath and get in bed I read a book until I fall fast asleep. Although people are different so a bath and reading may not work for you, but it is worth a try. I have heard that meditating before bedtime can also help, but I haven't tried that one yet. I may if my bath and reading fail at some point.

What time do you sleep? I used to have insomia during my college days. what I did was I observed the time that I sleep. Then I slept earlier by 10-15 minutes earlier every night or every 3 nights until I achieved my desired time of sleep. That way, you will not realize that you are sleeping earlier and earlier by the day

I feel so bad for you , I have not been getting any sleep for the last little while and am so exhausted already . I can't imagine what you are going through . You would think they would have found something to make you be able to get some sleep . I don't know what you could try as I can't find anything to help me fall asleep but I hope you can find something soon as this must be wearing you completely out . Best of luck !!
