Looking for ZZZ,

What method are you using? I don't have a method other than taking Trazadone every night and even though it isn't physically addictive, I do believe it to be psychologically so. I mean, I really think I can't go to sleep without it. A big part of this is that my natural sleep rhythm is from about 11:00 to 7:00 but my daughter wakes at 5:30 most days. She'll go back to sleep but I often don't. So I've used the Trazadone to get myself to go to sleep earlier in order to get enough rest.

Another thing, I slept an average of 7 to 7 and a half hours all week last week - I mean I had a night of 8 and a half hours last week. I've actually been sleeping pretty well since the middle of December, but I still can't quit calling myself an insomniac - I can't let go of the fear that it will come back. Any advice? I just still get so spooked by a bad night like I had last night. And on the nights that my daughter is wakeful I blame myself for not being able to go right back to sleep. I am convinced all the more that I have a problem because I can't snap back to sleep like my husband can. I can't seem to quit telling myself that I have a problem.

Thanks for calling my attention to insomnia24. I will check it out. I'm glad to know that you are a success story in the making. It's encouraging to hear that.

Thanks again -

ss
