I had 3 weeks of insomnia monster anxiety wave 5 weeks after jump, I didn't want to use anything but in the end I was so exhausted that I took 1/2 atarax and it calmed my anxiety a bit, and I got 3-4 hours sleep, I also started to give a f.... I thought ok if I can't sleep then wtf, and I pretended to just resting and did lots of sleep hypnoses and meditation apps and eventually my sleep slowly returned.

Don't chase you sleep it's just building up agitation which builds up more adrenaline and you won't be able to sleep, it's like trying to sleep while a giant elephant is chasing you.

Stay calm and give shit( sorry)

All my best thoughts  and  hope some of this  will help u :)

Ebette,

 

I finally caved and took a small dose, 50mg of trazodone.  It helped.  I also take hydorxyzone in small doses.

 

I hope you get some sleep!

Hi there WBD  :)

My sleep is and have been quite ok, I basically get 5-6 hours, always up and pee once though.

I haven't had insomnia to the stage I had back in December, some weeks had been close to similar but never as severe as then. I've used atarax half or quarter of a tablet maybe 5 times since my jump. But I also have a strict sleeping routine and a give shit attitude  :laugh: around 21.30 I usually find my sleep window to appear and two hours before that no pc, sometimes it's hard to fall to sleep due to heartbeats, but I use breathing and tapping if my thought starts to race.

How are YOU doing? I hope you're having progress  :smitten:
