Thank you. 1. I had ~15 years' therapy with multiple approaches & therapists w/out success. 2. I used to happily try any sleep medication but none works for more than a week or so, and now I take the same attitude as you. 3. I do get up and do something else when not sleeping, but lately the sleep has been so ratched I'm not as successful.
Have also tried things like yoga, meditation, melatonin, milk before bed, waking at a fixed hour, eating early, eating late, not eating at all, high complex carb diet, paleo diet, exercising early in the day, exercising late in the day, not exercising, and others.
Very grateful for the advice, though. I am very very open to it and am grateful for your caring.
