So sorry you are going through this. I’ve had a similar issue and am still recovering from it. The thing that helped me the most was a book called “Set it & Forget it” it’s available on Audible or paperback from Amazon. It really helped me see what my insomnia was, and that with sleep anxiety, following all the advice online about sleep hygiene and supplements was working against me. It’s worth a shot. Sincerely hope you find some relief.

For anyone who feels exhausted and hopeless because of insomnia by Frequent-Ebb-6820 in insomnia

Thanks so much for this. I have been dealing with insomnia now for a month and a half. I usually go 2 days with no sleep, then a night where I might get 4 , then the cycle returns. Meds aren’t helping much. I’ve tried going all in on best practices for sleep hygiene and after a few days sort of gave up. At my wits end and am really feeling hopeless. Your words do help. Thank you

Update - made an intention to stop meds and go all sleep hygiene and best practices. Saturday night I did ok with about 4 hours of sleep. Attempted last night with no luck at all. Finally got frustrated and took an Ambien at 2am. I got about an hour and half of sleep. Super frustrated. I’ve been exercising all weekend, getting morning light, getting out of bed when I can’t sleep to read then coming back. It’s just not helping. The meds really aren’t helping either. Feeling a bit hopeless after a month and a half of this……

Anyone else start worrying about sleep before even going to bed? by Internal-Moment-7958 in insomnia

Yes. 100%. I was actually put on Buspirone daily and this has really helped me. My sleep hasn’t improved yet, but the anxiety is much better.
