Who here has dealt with insomnia?  Or at least is dealing with it?

 

Before moving across this little country last month my life was moving at 100 mph.  Living in one of the largest cities, I was attracted to late-night parties.  I was always a part of a group of friends in some downtown bar and the only thing that balanced my life was me training for a half marathon and the frequent use of sleeping pills to give me much needed rest.  Now I live in a little suburb that's more than a 30 minute walk to the nearest nightlife.  I also left my entire social group thousands of miles away.  My goal was to enter grad school for early admission and start research to become acclimated, establish myself, and pump the brakes on my bad habits.  In some sense it's working.  I've made my name known in the department, am circling a new publication through the collaboration here, and already feel settled.  Problem is the lack of intensity and things to do here.  Now I find myself getting 4-5 hours of sleep.  Even if I try to get more rest, I can't seem to.  When do I start my own fight club?

I recently got to read in an article about a scientifically validated psychological treatment that can relieve symptoms of insomnia which is known as CBT-I. They provide cognitive strategies for coping with your sleep concerns and establish a foundation for long-term improvements in sleep quality. Hope it helps you to relieve the symptoms of insomnia and restore your poor sleep quality. To know more about the treatment, just go through the article.
