I agree with you, Ellie. There's no way i can tolerate the rest of my life with this chronic insomnia. I can't stand living another 10 years with most of my days completey out of it and sleep deprived. While i obviously enjoy the days when i'm well rested, they are kind of bittersweet because they make me realize on the good days what i'm missing.

Like you, i always sleep worse the night before i have something to do the next day, especially if its social. That's why its been made next to impossible for me to work, date or even keep up other normal social relationships with friends and family.

The therapist i'm seeeing now has been forcing me to do things when i'm tired and sleep deprived, rather than decline all invitations completely (as i largely have over the last several years), but it hasn't helped with my ability not to obsess about my sleep the night(s) before i have a committment.

G-d how i hate this.
