I have suffered from insomnia for several years after traumatic marriage/divorce from a narcissist and gone through lot of stress for these 5 years. I expected insomnia down in Crete ( on holiday ) too. But down there insomnia disappered about. I slept very normal and without sleeping pills since we drank some alcohol through the day and every day and now being back in Norway I was afraid insomnia would come back, but I have slept about normal here too, for one week.

I may have been free of stress while down there, nothing to worry about, no financial worries or stressing thoughts. I was with my friend and her family.

When coming back to Norway I knew that I had felt free down there. Not in bondage mentally in anything. I didnt even feel depressed.

Can insomia really be cured just like this?

Picture a bird flying out from its cage, the door is open and its free to be free. I lived for a moment feeling happy and not drowned in worries.

I am still scared insomnia will come back. Now back in Norway I feel a bit depressed again. I am alone and theres no weather like down in Crete to go with your good friend and have a nice time.

I now sleep around 1.00 and wake up every morning automatically around 9.30. Down in Crete I had to wake up around 9.00 to meet my friend every day. The weirdest was that I slept normal the second day down there and it continued so. Maybe I was sleeping because of being stimulated very much all day. But I dont do much here at home, but still sleep at around 1.00.

Well, I actually just came over an article about that camping can be the ultimate cure for your insomnia. Maybe some of this in this article happened to me. I was exposed to much sunlight, had to get up early for one week, had no pc or electrical devices ( except from my phone that I didnt use ), free of negative thoughts. If this was the reason why it helped maybe your insomnia can be cured too.

I will paste the article in here for those who may be interested reading it.
