I assume you talked to a doctor about it? Insomnia is the worst - you have my sympathy. I personally have recurring short lived bouts (falling exhausted at 12, only to wake up 3 hours later unable to sleep again, repeat every day). My dad had terrible insomnia too, I think I'm just prone to it. I know I am likely HSP too, so my brain is hardwired to react more strongly than normal to stimulus. I find a pitch black room helps a lot. Beyond that, trying to reduce stress as much as I can, but being a parent, and working in tech, it isn't so easy.
- tomcam 5y agoThank you very much. Yes, I just saw my doctor today. I have no thyroid so we are adjusting my thyroid meds, which may help a little. It did once before, so I’m a little hopeful. She also prescribed a new sleep medicine I haven’t tried yet (although that’s not my ideal way of handling this. I would rather get to the roots but after 50 years I don’t think it’ll help much.
