Topic | I finally got to sleep for the first time in three days |
WhiteLens 12/29/19 11:07:54 AM #17: | First, I'm gonna quote some stuff I said in a different topic since it's pretty related, but not all of it may apply to you. WhiteLens posted... Next, these have been my go to YouTube channels for dealing with insomnia https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_tdQDMQon0CfD0xAbZPNDg/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL5LsLUeVA2j_Vsl5625shQ/videos They have a lot of videos, but it's mostly their early videos that explain CBTi. Most of their other videos is just them addressing common worries about insomnia, and sometimes they're repeating themselves. They're good to watch if you have some of those same worries. The nice thing about Daniel Erichsen, the guy in the first link, is that if you email him or leave a comment in any of his videos, he may respond in a new video with some advice for you. This is a new channel that I discovered fairly recently: https://www.youtube.com/user/steveorma/videos I'm actually familiar with the guy running it, I think it provides a good overview of the problems that caused insomnia and how to deal with it. There's also a chance that your local library has books on how to treat insomnia. You just have to make sure that it's a book about dealing with insomnia specifically, and not books on sleep in general. Because reading about all the negative effects from the lack of sleep when you're already having trouble with sleep is only gonna cause more anxiety and make sleep harder to get. (The famous book, Why We Sleep, is probably the biggest perpetrator for this) Something to keep in mind is that it can take awhile to see any effects, after all you're trying to reverse something you had for a decade. It does take a lot of persistent and consistent effort to get through it. None the less, I do hope you get past your insomnia. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens F/GO: 271551102; FFRK: 9k6d; FFBE: 886783216 ...
