Hello, Insomnia is a nightmare & yes the pun was intended. If this is a sudden onset for you my first question would be did you discuss with your doctor ? Sometimes new onset can be associated with medication side effects. Or particular life changes that have increased stress. My next ques. have you ever had a Sleep Study done ? Perhaps you are having Sleep Apnea ?

To answer your question yes, I have had similar sleep disturbance and am still in the process of troubleshooting. Right now my doctors are adjusting my CPAP settings to treat sleep apnea which I had no idea I even had. My cardio ordered a sleep study based on my complaints of sleep disturbance & morning headaches. All that to say, perhaps a consult with a sleep specialist would get you to a solution more quickly than a lot of trial & error with things that may not be addressing the real cause. Good Luck !

I am in the same boat. It can be a vicious cycle because one can develop anxiety about going to bed then that keeps you up. You can try to limit caffeine and screen time before bed and replace it with a book and camomile tea and Benadryl or ZzQuil. I’m going on 8 months. Hang in there.
