I've tried but am not sure how to find relevant comments by the members you listed. What's the best way to do that?
I've heard from sleep psychologists that it's common for someone to develop insomnia during a stressful period and then suffer from it chronically, longer term. That's what happened with me. I do have less stress in my life now but have generalized anxiety. And since having chronic insomnia, now have anxiety about sleeping. I take Ambien nightly but have long tried to taper off, unsuccessfully. Nothing else seems to work, so I'm starting to look at therapies I tried earlier in my life, like acupuncture.
