Thanks Tom,
I have thought about your approach a lot during during this past month-I agree with it, especially when I remember my prior bout with insomnia. At that time, I didn't follow any special rules, I went to bed when I felt like it, and got up in the middle of the night if I was so inclined. Over time, about a month, it just resolved on it's own.
This time, because there were so many other things going on, and I became so obsessed/afraid of insomnia, I over-researched it. I read all of the experts and desparately sought answers.
SR is a very mixed bag to me. I think the reason I keep going back to it is that is is successful with so many people. I also get frustrated when I'm not anxious, I fall asleep within 5 minutes, but then I wake up and I just can't get back to sleep. I know for me (and my husband tells me this on a regular basis), over-thinking is probably part of the issue. I have always felt that acceptance is a key concept, and one that I struggle with on a regular basis.
Thanks for your support.
