Sure I go through spurts. I can’t say it always happens and I can’t say it never happens. Glad you’re sleeping though 👍

Some days I wake no nervousness etc then others I am..I read it can leave your nerves in tatters long after the insomnia is gone..I'm pleased I'm sleeping every night..last year frightened the life out of me...being awake nearly 40 hrs before sleeping it was a continuous pattern..I never hallucinated or anything ..was like a zombie thou x

Monday night I got up at 3:30 AM and didn’t go to sleep until Tuesday 12 pm so that’s around 32 hours. It led me to find this site. I was in such A panic state I didn’t know what to do thank God for this site it really helped.

I have a grandson also about a year and a half so I know what you’re talking about there. I recently visited my rheumatologist and she recommended CBD oil for sleep she gave me some paperwork on it and told me I can get it on the Internet but I’m hesitant

Are you exercising regularly? Maybe that might help? I know it helps me w/anxiety.
