Have had insomnia approx 10 yrs cannot recall anything that triggered it, my oldest sister also has very bad insomnia & my younger brother also to a lesser extent, i was told that 1 of my grandmother's died indirectly from insomnia, will talk to my Dr about CBT-T
That is quite a family history,
. Have you ever seen a neurologist who specializes in sleep disorders? I hope CBT-I helps and that the new year brings you more success with your sleep issues. - Lori (Team Member)
The only thing that works for me is 2 puffs of maijuana it allows me to sleep 2-4 hrs, have seen my regular Dr also a Neurologist also have tried staying @ a sleep study which was a joke since their req. Is that i need to sleep 6 hrs to gather enough data if i could get 6 hrs sleep i would not need to have a sleep study, i would like to find another way other than marijuana, Dr's seem to always want patients on drugs so America can be under the influence which keeps big pharmaceutical Co. Raking in billions.
