Hi, @sndishpr - thanks for providing this update and a hopeful message for others. Sounds like you feel your sleep therapist has helped you.

Will you share more about what kinds of deep breathing exercises you are finding helpful, and what kinds of meditation are working for you?

@lisalucier - I’m doing abdominal Or diaphragmatic breathing along with transcendental Meditation for about 5-10 minutes 3 X day. I also just started using blue light blocking computer glasses for reading on my kindle before bed. Truthfully, I don’t know if these techniques are really helping! I am getting less anxious about getting a full, uninterrupted nights sleep. I think that’s the key. - to be less anxious. I still have a ways to go - weaning off the trazodone. Good luck to all going through this .
