It's actually not good to rely on medicine for sleep in the long run. They don't give you very good sleep quality, and you develop a psychological dependency on them. trdl23 posted... Its pretty much permanent with me since H1N1 messed up my brain stem. It's actually quite common for someone to go through a life event that triggered their insomnia, but the insomnia still persists even after what triggered it has past. It's how people develop chronic insomnia. Insomnia is predominately a psychological issue and thinking something is like wrong with your brain can keep the insomnia going, especially if you're prone to getting anxious all the time. What's happening is that your body is constantly activating an arousal system, and what CBTi does is suppose to address your thought patterns and behaviors around sleep and ease your mind. I can provide a few resources for it (mainly YouTube channels), but the thing to keep in mind is that sleep is suppose to be something that happens naturally, and constantly being worried about it and the effects of lack of sleep, will only make sleep harder. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216 ...
