No one has ever been able to relate to me when it comes to insomnia. Watching this made me cry. Not alone with this. And knowing there is healing.

[JJHurst]

This aspect of CFS has been the most challenging for me personally. Wired but tired.
Awful. Getting better but boy does it wipe you out.

[deelicious]

I started getting up and laughing at anything that made me laugh. It took 4-6 months, but eventually I could stop ruminating and fretting. Now I am able to lie in bed and listen to guided meditations or audiobooks. I still wake up often, but I don’t wig out like I used to.

Sleep disturbance is a strange symptom of CFS. It’s harder getting to sleep, staying asleep and waking up between 3am-6am sucks. Waking up/getting out of bed each morning is tough too. We forget what it feels like to wake up refreshed. For the past 18 months I’ve unsuccessfully tried setting an alarm to wake up but eventually just wake up when my body allows me to. There is a saying with CFS, your body tells you what to do, not the other way around which is quite true.

Geese my entire life. Now I’m suffering from CFS at 70. Thank you. I thought I was dying.

What worked for me guys was definitely listening to something that gave me comfort. Guilty pleasure of mines, there’s a SpongeBob playlist on YouTube with all their background music. And it gives me nostalgia and puts me right to sleep. Also white noise is great for REM sleep

I slept like a baby for 30 years and then chronic illness hit. I've been in similar situations to the coach you mentioned, so it's really good to hear that she's fully recovered and can sleep well now 🙌🏼!

[afshasultana]

Wow insomnia has always been the most dreadful thing to me . Exactly as you described since childhood i just couldnt sleep . I guess this plays a huge role in me getting CFS. 😢 Thank you for this video. Surely could relate to each and everything you spoke about!

[michaelthau]

The best video ever about insomnia!
Ive been suffering for 4 years. My mind wont shut off. Im 54 and exhsusted. My family doesnt understand. Thank you for alk the information!!!

[nimrahh]

Brother just because of you l able to sit in exams 😊❤ otherwise I remember my last exam didn't want to write anything and left blank paper 😢

[denisebraisby]

So true, I have more energy later in the day but then I'm wired when I'm trying to sleep.

[Annak.]

Honestly such an amazing video, I resonated with everything you said. I was hospitalised last week due to sleep deprivation and am currently on day 4 of no sleep, and I think I'd be a lot worse off if I hadn't found your videos. They are pretty much the only thing keeping me going.
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about this, you're helping a lot of people :)

[kaylaberry]

I have had the feeling of dreaming or something while I am awake and it’s such a weird feeling and makes you feel like you are losing it. I have also closed my eyes and seen flashes of different images like my mind is trying to process the events of the day.

It helps to listen to a soothing voice.

My issue is that I tend to sleep best between 4 a.m. and noon. It's still disturbed sleep and I can't sleep this long every night but this tends to be when my body wants to sleep. The problem is that I live alone, am housebound and so have to rely on getting everything I need delivered which means I often need to be awake by 9 a.m. Delivery times are often approximate which means I could be waiting all day for something to arrive and if I miss the delivery it means I'll have to repeat the process the following day when delivery is reattempted. Just knowing that I'll have to be awake early is enough to stop me from sleeping. It's like I can't relax if I know that I can't allow my body do what it needs to do when it needs to do it. If I go to bed before midnight I'll sleep for a couple of hours and then be awake all night. Also daytime noise can be intrusive. Most normal everyday neighbour noise can be drowned out with noise cancelling headphones and earplugs but at the moment there are people doing repairs on the building next door and power tools, cement mixers etc. cannot be drowned out no matter what devices I use. Sometimes they start at 7 a.m. It drives me nuts not being able to sleep at night (since usually all is quiet at night except for the odd party my inconsiderate neighbours throw). I've read that the sleep-wake cycle in those with CFS tends to be reversed and I used to be a night owl even before getting CFS.

So glad you're addressing this topic. Thank you!!

[kavmvnofficial]

[DoglinsShadow]

WOAH. I just clicked on this video and clicked in at around 3:30 and just WOW. I relate to this so much and will have to watch the rest of the video later. The whole “evening comes around and you feel better and so you want to cash in” Yeap that’s me. I feel better at night/evening, it’s 10:25pm where I am and I’m thinking to go for a little jog Yeap I’m feeling that good. Meanwhile this afternoon I was feeling so so and yesterday not so good.

Just stumbled across your channel and really relating to this content

I've been facing insomnia since 2 months and I was so so scared I use to cry 30mins everyday thinking that I lost my ability to sleep.
