My pdoc got me signed up for a 6 week CBT sleep class. I'm not sure how I feel about it (today being day 1). I had trouble filling in some of the evaluation; for example I don't take "sleep medications" but I take lots of sedating meds. It's got things I worry about, like right now staying out of my bed during the day is nearly impossible because my couch is in terrible shape and hurts my back. Either that or I have a bilateral kidney infection which would be odd (not that I'm not going to the dr fairly soon as my back has hurt for weeks). I also dread tracking my sleep and am embarrassed by my weird sleep patterns that someone is going to be looking at. And I don't love CBT. I know lots of people do; it's just never been my favorite thing. But it's only 6 weeks. and maybe it will help.
I'm just anxious about it. Oh well. It's free so if I hate it I quit I guess. My pdoc wouldn't be thrilled but if I have a good reason she'll be ok.
And maybe it will somehow fix my 44 years of messed up sleep. Who knows?
