Yes, I, too have the same problem. I think your body gets into the habit as a matter of survival and when that coping tool is no longer needed, the body has a hard time breaking the habit.
There might be relaxation techniques you can use before bedtime,such as deep breathing and meditation. And then, too when you feel safe, it might get easier.
For me, I have had this problem for 43 years and so I am having to take meds to help me while I go through therapy and healing because insomnia can take a toll on the body.
I hope you find a way to get relief soon hun.. hang in there.Remind yourself you are a survivor and you are going to be a thriver one day.
Peace, Faith
