News of Insomnia Forum

Apparently some sleep specialists are designing an app that delivers cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. I cannot seem to find anything like that on the internet. Has anyone tried an app like this? Does it work?
Thanks.

There are certain nights when I know I'm not going to be able to fall asleep easily, and I need to do something other than lay in bed tossing and turning.

Here are some of the things I will do when I can't sleep:

- Read a book
- Listen to an audiobook
- Listen to a guided meditation or self-hypnosis mp3
- Go for a short walk(I'm in a very quiet/safe neighborhood)
- Take ...

For some reason I have a really hard time falling asleep at night but can get into a deep sleep during the day. Even if I'm really really tired and force myself to not nap, I still have the same issue at night with trying to get to sleep. I've always been like this. It's weird though because I feel that I need total dark and silence to sleep well, yet there is sun coming ...

I was diagnosed ADD/ADHD a few years ago and the medications worked wonders. 2 years later, after many frustrations, I realized that the Concerta was doing what it was suppose to be doing, and I was trying to use it as a stimulant to keep me awake(which failed). During the first 2-4 weeks my insomnia disappeared for many reasons. After that month my insomnia came back and I just figured that my honeymoon phase with ...

Hello,

Just would like to say I have diagnosed with this sleeping disorder (in addition to a myriad of others heh gotta laugh sometimes)

Fall asleep. Wake up. Repeat every hour on the hour. There is an eating disorder involved but I dont want to trigger..

Do any of you nap? I stay away from any caffeine. Psych wont give me meds, due to the type I am using currently for Bipolar. I am sure ...

Just wondering, what do you guys do when you're up at, say, 2 AM unable to sleep?

I mostly do crafting stuff, or try to read, or watch YouTube videos

I just wanted to post so I can survey other people who have issues sleeping (either falling asleep or staying asleep) as to what medication you're prescribed and works well. I first started years ago taking Seroquel but it gave me nightmares so I switched to Trazodone but I built up a tolerance it so when I reached taking 200 mg my doctor switched me to try 100 mg Seroquel again which no longer gives ...

Hi everyone :) It's almost 6AM here, and I'm just going to sleep now. For the past year, my body and mind seem to have both united against me.

I've always been a night owl, having a peak of creativity in the late hours and staying up late whenever I could. But now it has just gotten ridiculous. I consider 2AM as going to sleep early, and ...

I may go days at a time with no sleep and when i do it is 2 to 3 hours at best.
I am currently taking:
10mgs Valium per day/ 5mgs twice a day
900mgs Trileptal per day/ 300mgs in the morning and 600mgs in the evening
200mgs Lamictal per day/ 100mgs twice a day
100mgs Trazadone per day at bedtime

The Valium has definitely helped my anxiety. The Lamictal has somewhat worked on my ...

Its in all the medical records from history the way humans used to sleep.
