I could have written this myself.Wow,I have suffered from chronic severe insomnia for over 15 years. I can't sleep when I want to or have to - it doens't matter if it's a even I'm looking forward to or not - I won't sleep.I know I can because I do every other night.I know my body knows the drill but I can't tap into the "magic' when I need it. I've tried everything under the sun - drugs, hormones, herbs, more milk (cows must hate me), hot baths, self talk, shrinks, massage, hypnosis, books, prayer. I know I have the power in me - can be done - just don't have a clue how to break the cycle.I know this is a fear based bad habit - It's all in what you think. I know this yet am unable to make it work just yet. I will - it makes me mad and I feel really stupid. I feel some comfort in knowing you're out there. I'll say a prayer for you.
