Sleep became a luxury and even after sleeping-pills - waking up fresh was a dream [although got addicted to these sleeping-pills - but had very little impact].
Then to further compound and complicate my perils - my anti-allergic medicine [which contained Montelukast] and sleeping pills worked-together - to make my whole day foggy-groggy-idea less and totally in automaton mode.
This went on for years - most doctors I consulted - gave me stress-reducing psychotic-drugs - which further reinforced the grogginess and fogginess.
I tried various sleeping pills [under highly qualified-experienced-extra ordinary doctors].
Yes-yes sleeping-pills are unhealthy and addictive - but I am continuing with something I have recently been prescribed - although addicted - still this one as of now is giving say 20% relief.
I experimented for years - with homeopathic-Ayurveda-naturopathy-yoga-exercises-meditations and medications.
My experiments were based on the most-simple logic - try even the most ridiculous one - till it proves working or I find them to be useless - that is how desperate I was for refreshing sleep - still I am.
I made only one thing totally non-negotiable - That is never ever even think of trying the unhealthy-choices - which as per my list included alcohol, drugs and other substance-abuse.
I read-googled-watched all new ideas and choose the ones which I could implement and practice and afford [which is very less in numbers - as most of the thing either I am unable to consistently do or just can’t make myself do it].
Few of the methods works for a day or two - and then don’t - also I could not remember to continue - as this sleeplessness also impacted my memory and ability to retain and recall.
I also discovered many-many useless - advices - like counting-backwards and few similar-ones - ask any insomniac.
But I also realized - that there is no single-process or method which will work for all - only a combination of many would be more effective therapy - which also you have to keep refining and discarding on regular basis.
In this article I am listing all that I tried - and you can too - to see - if it works.
But please understand that the reasons and causes - you developed this sleep-disorder - will not go-away through these methods.
If you are serious about getting to the root-cause and finding cure for that - then you have to through the pain-staking process of learning about your own body-mind-emotions - and then find ways which works for you - to address them at the root-cause levels - if that is possible.
With all these experiments - it is not that I am sleeping like a new-born baby OR that I feel fully refreshed-recharged-revitalized - when I wake-up in the morning - But it my sleep has improved considerably.
But I sincerely hope - that these method and what you choose for you - do create powerful change in your sleep-pattern and sleep-quality on sustainable ways.
If you have trouble sleeping - you have to know that - more than 1/3rd of the world adult population experience insomnia at some stage of their life.
Many times the insomnia is temporary - as it has happened in response to some stimulus - but in regular insomnia - this points to some serious underlying cause.
12 Most common problems that are associated with sleep-disorders - that you may experience - are [you can add other significant ones - if these don’t cover yours]
1. Lying-awake thinking about sleep - sometimes whole night
2. You feel very-very sleepy - so much so that you stop whatever you are doing AND go to bed immediately - but your sleep vanishes the moment your head hits the pillow
3. You manage to fall asleep but wake-up maybe be after 1 or 2 or 3 or so hours and then can’t fall sleep again
4. You snore anytime in 24 hours with slight posture change - and in spite of sleeping seemingly - feel very-very lethargic throughout the day
5. You are seemingly sleeping - but your mind is focused on one scene which keeps repeating in your mind and it does so much that even in the sleep you feel irritated
6. You lie-awake whole night - only to fall asleep at 6am at your waking time and when you wake-up after say 2-3 hours[if that happens] - you feel totally disoriented
