Re Rapunzel's excellent advice. My problem is I can't make myself do it. I just won't put on the self-hypnosis tape until I do whatever I feel like I have to do, play Crosswords for a few hours, go on Ebay, etc. Never anything productive. I usually don't fall asleep until 3 am. A few times I was up until 6 am. Once I decided I would reset my clock and wouldn't allow myself to go to sleep at 6 am. That just proved dangerous, I was bouncing off the furniture. I have narcolepsy so sleep aids like Restoril and Ambien don't work for me. I've used a CPAP machine for several years. I take Nuvigil to stay awake during the day. Not taking it doesn't make a difference at night. Do you know why I am fighting going to sleep? I have depression and anxiety. Thanks for any insight shared.
