It was scary before old sleep doc explained it a year and a half ago.
He told me to realize that I was not hearing or seeing real things --
I was dreaming.



I would rather stay awake than deal with that.

Sleep neuro is sending me to a local medical school for CBT with a team of
psychology students who are specializing in sleep disorders.
The students work under the supervision of a psychiatrist.

The desk person making the appointments asked me a bunch of questions.
Then she will send the information to whomever and I will get a call for an appointment.


I feel like I have to give this a try in order to satisfy sleep neuro but
I am not feeling good about CBT or about working with a psychologist/s.

=-=-=-
The good news is that the appts are cheap and the plan is for a finite amount of time.

do they ever use self hyponosis for the condition to get you past the difficult first stage?

I hope that it works out for you, Mari :hug:

Thanks, Kay.


mymorgy, hypnosis has the same issue that sleep does -- seeing and hearing weird things when I am sort of awake while also almost asleep/relaxed.

THey are supposed to get back to me for a Thursday or Friday afternoon appt.

In the meantime, I am exhausted and gaining weight.
When I am tired on work days, I eat sweets and carbs. Wed was one of those days.

Sweets and carbs can be really comforting. I'm sorry that you have gained some weight. I'm sure that's not helping matters :hug:

I hope you get an appointment that works out with your schedule.
So easy to gain weight so hard to get it off.

I planned to get some sleep Thursday night. (get some rest and get on a schedule)

I took my meds at 9:30 p.m.

Then I fell asleep sitting in front of the tv for two hours and woke up. :(

I have not been able to get back to sleep.
Finally I took a tiny piece of a lunesta pill so I can sleep.
I will be sleeping during the day.
