I find that too sometimes - on a very strict regime, doing all I am supposed to do and things decent for a while then all of a sudden things fo pear shaped, it may be a night it may be several weeks but Ill be damned if I can work out what sparks it off again.

Hope it eases for you soon.

Yes- it's a real bummer when that happens- all going well and - BANG- .

The only thing I can point you to , is some trigger set it off. And it can be something very minor.

I had Honeycomb ice cream one evening - boy - did I not sleep one wink. It's the crunchy bits I discovered later- full of rising agents. Which just annoys hell out of me , because I know to avoid them- Crunchy bars , kitkats etc.

So- look at your diet VERY carefully - be forensic 😈 .

You know to avoid all the antihistamines , cough meds etc.

Good luck.

Ambien is a good backup to have for those very occasional instances of non sleep. Or oxynorm5 if your Dr would prescribe it. Just for emergency use only.

Cheers.

Same thing happened to me last night. Took my med exactly when I have been and was up pacing the floors til 3:30 am.

It is hell when it strikes out of the blue like that and even worse when you have to get up to work the next day.
