sensorimotor obsession (a form of OCD)...! I have FINALLY realised the driver for my insomnia (awakening in the middle of the night) and then im unable to return to sleep, as I have always felt my heart is beating hard, this is driven by the heightened awareness of my heartbeat, which feeds an anxiety which keeps me awake a long period of time…. now to find best strategy of how best to tackle this? generally I wake at 3-4hrs then cannot return to sleep. Im aware of all the CBT for Insomnia techniques, but this doesn't address this element of my insomnia which is really driving it. HELP please!
