Introduction

Hello folks. I just wanted to introduce myself.
I've been having trouble sleeping on and off for the past 2 months. I have trouble falling asleep. Sometimes it takes me an hour to an hour and a half to fall asleep.

This is probably the best website I have found so far for support. I can't believe there aren't more resources for insomnia. If anyone has a chat room or if they can point me to one for insomnia I would be very appreciative.

Thanks.

Hi, Try early morning exercise, dull evenings literally...in the dark with a book or something boring. Meditation. Deal with anxieties with cbt and rebt. You will both get to a better place...It's taken me two years. Hopefully yours will not be the chronic but transient form of insomnia.

Hello folks. It's really strange because I was always a good sleeper. I would fall asleep fast and pretty much anywhere. It comes and goes. I might have trouble 3-4 nights a week. I was hoping to find a chat room where people could discuss the issue. It's a little disheartening that there are such few resources for insomnia.

I've been reading "Say Goodnight to Insomnia" and it's been helping. I've been using CBT and seems to be slowly helping.

Hope you get a good nights rest.
