I've been having trouble with sleeping for the last 10-15 years of my life, especially starting in my early twenties. The insomnia didn't start suddenly but it gradually got worse until I was not falling asleep until sunrise. I had tried a lot of different home treatments from Chronotherapy, Light-box, deep-breathing, endless supplements, some OTC medicines and a few antidepressants. A bunch of therapists, assessments, blood tests, and "worry journals" haven't helped either. Either I'm a hypochondriac or my past doctors simply don't know what's causing it, a "chicken or the egg" situation as one of them called it. The latest assessment didn't reveal a mental disorder either, which surprised me. There has to be something going on.

Right now I just listen to my body and go along with my random sleep pattern, which is unpredictable. Usually I fall asleep between 3am and 8am on average but other days are earlier and later. Sleep quality varies but it's usually poor and broken. If I do sleep without interruptions, it will usually be between 6-8 hours. As far as the Chronotherapy attempts, I usually held a good daytime wake schedule after completing it (woke up between 6-7am and went to sleep between 8-10pm) from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, but would relapse after that.

I'm wondering if anyone else is in this situation and how is it affecting your life?
