I am suffering really bad insomnia. Up at 3am every morning and falling asleep while on the train or bus to work. Struggling to stay awake at work. I have tried various sleep medication, Brandy and working out but nothing working. Any advice?
Hi Titch, and welcome, I went 18 months on 2 hours a night, the 2 things that helped me through it was a relaxation course at www.maggies.org as my insomnia, like most peoples came with anxiety which fed off each other, dragging you down, and the relaxation course helped to break this cycle, as did sleepio a NHS App, as finding the right daily routine was important for me, I now sleep 7ish hours most nights, PS, it took about 12 weeks from starting to get to where I was ok with the hours I slept, and a few more to where I was happy, best wishes
