It's official!
I haven't slept more than 3 hours in a row for a year.
๐ :(
That can't be good for your health.
That's treatment resistant insomnia.
I don't want to be one of those people, but have you tried sleep restriction? I'm not sure if it's cognitive or biological or a mix of both in your case, but what about CBT-I?
I'm pretty sure it's because of my anti depressant. But I can't mess around with it for another few weeks due to all the other stuff that's happening.
I've got a referal to a sleep clinic which I'll attend next week.
But cheers for the suggestion, I'll look into it :)
Yay sleep clinic! Good luck, it will get better :)
Damn that's rough ๐ What have you done to try and fix it?
Everything except valium which I refuse to touch.
Yeah fair enough. CBD worked well for one of my friends but it's not for everyone. For me a combination of exercise, meditation and reading before bed has helped. Hopefully you find a solution.
Do you get enough hours in total?
I get around 7. But I'm in bed for 10 which really sucks.
