You are totally right . What changed my life was buying a grounding sheet. It's made a whole difference. I even have the odd dream now after years of sleeping tablets. Thankyou

Currently being treated with CBT-I therapy but am happy I stumbled onto this channel today and getting extra reassurance! Many thanks!

[@PutInsomniaToBed]

You're welcome, and glad you found CBT-I.

[@luvwings]

Thank you, I was so scared, it was causing me not to sleep even more.

[@PutInsomniaToBed]

You're welcome!

This helped, except the last one. I will always have insomnia and I am OK with it. If I get 4-5 hours of, I am able to all day without being tired or sleepy. I am 81 and take no meds of any kind.

[@Loza-p]

Thank u so much for your information, its really helpful but Is the quantity or the quality of your sleep easier to fix?

[@PutInsomniaToBed]

Usually, the quantity is the first thing to improve when you do CBT-I, and then once your sleep cycle smooths out and gets more consistent, the quality of the sleep improves.

I was a person who suffered from insomnia for decades, in fact since childhood. It wasn't solved by CBT though, but by keeping a food diary and finding the correlations with my intake. I've been on an organic whole foods plant based pescetarian diet (no dairy, but I do eat egg yolks; fatty fish once or twice a week) for most of my adult life. What caused my insomnia/wiredness and restless legs: 1) all and any fluid calories (soups, juices, plant milks) 2) fructose - including in fruits, especially dried fruits - and concentrated sugars (maple syrup - i can add one coffee spoon to my vinaigrette). I am able to eat one or two servings of fresh fruit/and two or three dried apricots a day, max. 3) chocolate, green tea, caffeinated coffee. I can drink two black teas and one decaf in the early morning, without problem. Chocolate sadly, I have to abstain from (in a former life I was a chocoholic, eating one or two squares of pure chocolate daily) 4) any spice foods - sadly. I cán eat green herbs without problem. I actually found out how effective this was, after my dearest husband (of almost four decades) died unexpectedly, and I couldn't eat for many weeks after, undeliberatly enforcing an elimination diet, only eating some rice, green veggies, egg yolk/fish in the first month. Despite the shock and unimaginable grief I, for the first time in decades, COULD SLEEP. Whenever I added any of the above, though (and I did so only sparingly, because for many months after, eating remained a problem) it would ruin my night. I now mostly adhere to this regimen, only very occasionally caving, which never really worth it. But I am a sucker for summer fruits like peaches and nectarines, and I love Indian food. However, what I can eat freely is great and delicious food also, and nothing tastes as good as a good night's rest feels.

How to do the method mentioned in the video for chronic insomnia

[@PutInsomniaToBed]

Hi, I can't describe the entire process in a video, but you can learn a lot more about the process in this playlist I've created about the treatment (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia or CBT-I) kzbin.info/aero/PLRSHWGAOodVqi5n8OW9F1khJDgyfL-aXj&si=mY3VZkQ5XSzH6E0s

[@terrinoggle3893]

Do you address hormonal shifts like perimenopause/menopausal that trigger insomnia?

[@PutInsomniaToBed]

Yes, I've had many women in my program who are perimenopausal/menopausal and they can get past insomnia. Many women who have hormone shifts don't have insomnia. That means the hormone shifts can interfere with sleep, but don't necessarily CAUSE insomnia, because it's more about how you REACT to the poor sleep. This is good news because it means it's within your power to manage those shifts with your sleep. I'm planning to do a Q&A video next week, so I'll address this question in more detail there.

Are there special milk that can really help insomnia...eg..Dreamy Sure or any kind of milk will do?

[@leopadh]

I have insomnia. I get 3-4 hours a night sleeping if I’m lucky. I keep changing my prescriptions as they do not help after a short period. I’m looking into CBTI but not sure it’s going to help

[@PutInsomniaToBed]

You won't know until you try :) And it is the best solution that exists for insomnia.

[@xavieraleman1629]

If you have insomnia every day year after year, you start losing touch with reality, palpitations, mental illness then disability and major depression. Now have copd, fibrosis, abdominal issues just to name a few
