Was sleeping okay now waking too early
I've been waking too early for about three years. Tried many herbal remedies. Now on trazodone and melatonin time release. About a week ago I started sleeping the full night!, which was great. But what was different?? Now, for the last two days, back to waking at 5am or 4am. Why? I have eliminated some physical reasons and now believe this is most likely psychological. Here are notes I took after waking too early …
Sense of safety?
Reassuring self talk?
Trauma CPTSD?
Self reassurance/self encouragement?
'Talk' with the insomnia?
Acidic stomach?
Yes, I have a therapist, which is good news. The other good news is that last night I slept right up to the alarm going off! I know there's a reason but otherwise have not figured it out. Thanks for writing. I will post updates.
That's fantastic,
! I hope you have many more nights like that in your future. Keep us posted if you don't mind. We are here for you and we will be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, I am sorry to hear that your good sleep did not last. I think you have made some good notes there, some that I myself can relate to. Do you see a therapist that you could talk over some the the Mental health aspects? Trauma can be so hard to deal with and can impact so many aspects of our lives.
Are you managing to get any sleep at the moment?
