"Exhausted. Very little sleep per usual. Last time I slept well was when I was 16. I have central sleep apnea and am using a PAP device every night. I take a lot of meds with insomnia listed as a side effect. I’m a senior citizen now and many seniors I know have sleeping troubles and I have neurological problems that may interfere with sleep. I have a calcified pineal gland and only one adrenal gland and no pituitary gland. I have prostatic hyperplasia so I can’t completely empty my bladder at one time. It’s for all of these reasons working against my sleep that I feel hopeless. I tried CBT-I. Couldn’t take getting out of bed and going to another room. Couldn’t do all of assignments. She had me stay awake until 12am to re-set my circadian rhythm. That worked but it was really hard to stay up that late l.My CBT-I therapist fired me because I wasn’t compliant. Reading in bed sometimes helps me fall back asleep but I rarely stay asleep. "
