Suzi / Alice -

Thanks so much for the response and support! She had her first CBT session yesterday, and convinced herself to have a very positive day despite 1-2 hours of sleep - guess what...8 - 8.5 hours of restful sleep! Go figure :-)

The good news is that I think we finally believe everything we have read about letting go, getting sleep off the pedestal, that things will be OK if she doesn't sleep, etc. That first step is huge - now we have to figure out how to do it on a consistent basis, and I think she will pull out of this.

Remeron has certainly helped her sleep straight through the night - prior to taking Remeron, she was getting up at 3:30 or 4 even on the nights when she fell asleep fine. She plans on sticking with it - we are going to the beach for a week starting Saturday - I think that will help as well (no work for either of us, grandparents will be along to help with the 2 little ones, etc.)

Thanks again ladies!
