Thread: What Triggers Your Insomnia

I am done with that phase. There was a time in my life, when I just couldn't sleep at all. I was there in my bed, just changing positions all night, I just couldn't sleep at all ! Eyes were closed, but sleep was missing ! My state was such that I was even aware that I was dreaming ! That was a state of absolute misery, if you ask me ...
Now that I look back, I can guess that it was due to excessive mental tension. I have slowly learned not to think too much about any thing and accept things as they are. That attitude has helped me to cure Insomnia naturally ...

There seem to be so many things that trigger insomnia:
Tension
Bad bedsheets
Bloated stomachs
Sickness
Sorrow
There just does not seem to be one reason why it happens - but the most common one is always stress and tension.

My trigger is worrying about something, or being excited for something. Basically anything that makes me think.

Stress and money issues definitely can trigger your sleep issues. Find someone to talk to or get to the root of the problem

I know two things are a factor. 1. I'm usually not tired because my body isn't creating melatonin and 2. I am thinking too much. If you can sleep during the day then maybe your body is creating melatonin during the day.

Ya, I agree that this is a main factor in some of the cases of insomnia. I think doctors just don't realize they need to treat the anxiety as well as the other symptoms.
