Dreaded insomnia

So you’re suffering from insomnia, another sleepless night and you’re wondering how much more you can take before you crack. You’re tired, no you’re more than tired, you’re completely exhausted yet you still can’t sleep.

You feel like you’re being punished for something you’ve done ‘Why can’t I sleep?!!’, ‘Why can’t I beat this insomnia?!’, ‘What’s wrong with me?!!’ You take another sleeping pill, hoping to fall asleep.

You lie there awake, tormented by the clock as it ticks away any time left to sleep, any chance of being remotely energised or awake the next day. You can’t remember the last time you’ve slept well, you’ve tried all the sleep remedies but you can’t seem to overcome this problem, this nightmare, this dreaded insomnia.

Sound familiar? Over the next few weeks we’re going to look into insomnia in more depth. After all you wouldn’t go to war without knowing more about your enemy. By learning more about insomnia we can look at ways to deal with it and learn to overcome it.

Drop me a post, I'll be interested to hear your story :)
