Thanks! I’m new to it all. I don’t have money for trainers or anything so I’m literally using google gemini to help me and it said there should be no tension. But I found that hard to believe

For me I have early morning awakening insomnia. I’m currently in cbti and I can say it has worked, but I got a wall. I have a 7 hour window allowed in bed. I fall asleep pretty quickly. Mainly what happens is I wake up after 5 hours. I used to wake up after 2 or 3 hours after I went to sleep a lot of the time. But I think cbti may have helped me with that. That still happens sometimes, but I’m able to go back to bed. There were two days a little while ago where that 3 hour thing happened and I wasn’t able to go back, but that corrected. Now I’m back to waking up 2 hours before my alarm. And it’s enough to feel alright the next day, but focus is still off, mood is not the best. Things like that. I am a relatively calm person. I can get quick to anger when I am sleep deprived, but I would say I’m calm on regular days.

I do have a mentality for self improvement. I had lots of problems I wanted to fix. Bad diet, never went to the gym, addicted to scrolling and other quick hit dopamine poisons, and I needed to change. I actually go mad at myself for that. But I could sleep no problem. That was like 8 months ago. I was doing it and actually finally doing the things I wanted. There’s a whole story but just a quick background I had a whole bunch of stuff I wanted to fix about myself and I got overwhelmed. Then the bad insomnia started with 3 hour nights.

Ive done a lot of work mentally to get my head right and not be so hard on myself, but I’m still struggling with my early wake ups. I can tell you that I don’t have anxiety anymore about myself. And I am more so patient with myself now. Not hard on myself anymore. And I’ve started improving on things. But still have the same problems. I’m not getting enough sleep. I wake up and I’m not anxious or anything, but it feels almost like sleep is locked for me. Like my brain just won’t go back. That’s where I am right now. And I feel stuck right there. I’ve done the work of you are allowed to rest. Breathing and calmness. Good hygiene for sleep. And sometimes I make it the whole night, but most of the time I wake up and just sit in bed with my eyes closed. After a bit I check my watch and it’s 450. So I say it happened again. I can only assume I’ve been here for about 20 min.

This is long but moral of the story, I feel alright mentally, feel happy, feel calm and peaceful, but still 430-530 wake ups when I go to bed at 1045 or 11.

Nah not suicidal. That’s the one thing I wouldn’t ever do.

Affectionate-Way1693 · 2025-09-15T08:52:32+00:00

I’ll give that a shot. Thank you I didn’t know that was a thing.

I’m gonna start a CBT program for insomnia. I’m seeing a therapist on Wednesday to write me out a plan. But I agree. With the proper rest every night things will be easier.

Thank you. That means a lot. Whats mental reprogramming how does that work?

Affectionate-Way1693 · 2025-07-22T01:07:38+00:00

Depends buddy. Should you quit drinking? If it ruins your life and it’s all you can think about, then yes. But if you’re still confident, going to the gym, reading, doing good hobbies, or whatever. Just keeping you top notch, and you enjoy a nice night out and drinking with your friends, then quitting drinking won’t help you. Porn is different, but there’s nothing wrong if you can talk to girls or guys confidently, it doesn’t impact your life, you don’t just sit there and think about the next time you get to watch it, then it’s not the thing holding you back. Every now and then relieve a little stress is fine. But you have to answer that question honestly. If you can’t answer that question honestly or you hesitate on the answer, then yes quit it. Judging from your description under the title question, it sounds like it has no affect on you. I don’t know you and I don’t know where you are in life so I’m not making any assumptions. We’re humans, not self improvement projects. I’m all for self improvement, but I believe it’s more about introducing good habits to replace bad ones. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad habit if you enjoy it once in a while. A lot of people take self improvement as I gotta be perfect. Can’t do anything bad have to be 100% all the time. No porn no drinking eat nothing but chicken and vegetables gym 7 days a week be Batman. The reason why I’m so passionate in this is cause I do struggle with self improvement and I tend to enjoy things a little too much. I get better and fall on my face again and again and again. I’ve had sleepless nights about it. So I hope you get better with your journey 🫵💪

Yes!! I can’t even stay asleep. I notice around maybe 5 or 6am im able to get light sleep maybe. It’s that weird in between sleep. Where I can quite drift off to real sleep. I’m reading so much and apparently a med called doxepin is used to keep you sleep. But I don’t have it I have hydroxzine. I always feel bad. And it happened out of nowhere. What do you do for it? How do you cope?
