Hi there Aussie Girl, I have enjoyed reading your posts. Here's hoping this works for you! This is going to sound kind of silly but, you know the statement, "I think, therefore I am"? Well, I keep thinking "I think I sleep, therefore I do sleep." I guess what I am getting at is there is a world of truth (for me, anyway) about the anxiety of it all. I know being addicted to Ambien is not a great thing. I am not advocating drugs as a solution for ANYONE. But I definately realized by posting here that not one solution is right for every person. There seems to be a lot of people for whom SR has worked fantastically. But if it makes you fixate on the problem, thereby exacserbating (sp?) the problem, then--to me, anyway--it is not worth it.

Don't feel like you're copping out!

This is supposed to be an insomnia forum for EVERYONE and all their methods for resolving insomnia issues. I don't think it's a cure-all, "one-size-fits-all" Sleep Restriction support group! Don't beat yourself about stopping SR.

Do what is best for you at the right time for YOU!!! Cheers!
