The final Jab to your chronic insomnia – Last Round
If you already tried every solutions of last resort for your chronic insomnia, and you did this for the last couple of weeks, months, sometimes even years, well then I expect this article to be THE ultimate solution to your sleepless nights!
Yes, like you I’ve been suffering from chronic insomnia.. for 3 f*, excuse my politeness, YEARS.
I took sleeping pills, uhu the desperate ‘solution’, who did not even make me fall asleep and caused even more anxieties, ’cause you know taking pills should make you fall asleep and stuff, but then why the heck is this not even working on me.. I should have a really big problem..
Nah over, OVERRR, completely GONE. Finito. Finished, FINI TOUT CA. GEDAAN. ABGESCHLOSSEN.
You are completely normal by the way, and you are addicted to nothing but what you’ve set your mind to… (!)
Nowadays, I can sleep again, have night outs and still sleep as a baby afterwards and finally having my mom wake me up because she thinks waking up at 11am will mess up my life.
Today I am so relieved and happy, I cannot even describe it with words, because I know what you are feeling, the frustrations, the tiredness, being tired of being tired, and all the sadness linked to that disability to be on top of your abilities… I know, I’ve waisted a lot of tears on that too… but as an ex-insomniac, I’m happy I went through this, because now I finally can help you out, hopefully for the best ! You deserve it too !
If you think this will be an article as the ones you’ve been reading every desperate sleepless night trying to find a quick fix since this stroke of unluck hitted you, you are wrong. Sorry not sorry.
I’ve used several sleeping pills, I counseled several types of doctors, vented about everything I thought was keeping me awake at night with my friends, family, parents (oh mom, I love you, I really made her crazy..).
I tried every kind of tea who would magically help you fall asleep and read every article possible about this nightmare, watched video’s/documentaries, followed hypnotise sessions from renowed hypnotherapeuts and went to one in live myself.. Just to make you aware.. that I’ve tried it all.
The 5, 7, 9, 10, whatever tips who magically rescued some of their insomnia were only quick fixes to me, that never healed me on the long run..
So now you’ve got a little overview of all the magic tricks the internet, doctors and random people shouted at you, I can give you the ultimate secret to finally beat that monster who keeps you awake at night…
DECIDE.
F*’ing decide to get over it, to be positive and that everything will be allright. Period. (If you expected something very magical, sorry not sorry to dissapoint).
AND.
DO IT FOR SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF.
For someone, something, but chose something bigger than yourself, and where you really care about.
I was dependent on sleeping pills (the classic one: Trazodone), I took magnesium complements, anti-stress pills and couldn’t get asleep anyway by the end of the day.
Thereby, I was so tired of being tired, I became angry at myself and at that unfortune who affected me and my life so badly. And on the fact I did not seem to manage to make me sleep as I was so good at before.
And now you are thinking, okay fine tell us now how you did it?
Well, I simply, positively and agressively decided to stop taking my pills, right away.
In spite of my wishes to get well instantly, I had to accept the fact that my sleep will not come back on a snap of a finger, just because I expected my wishes to unfold right the moment.
To put it differently I accepted the fact that I had to be patient, and that it would take a while before I find rest again at night. So instead of being frustrated about how and why it was still not how it should be (peaceful, resting and snoring) I decided to keep believing and seeing myself having those restful, sleeping nights even if I was still wide awake for weeks before the change happened.
I know how frustrating it is and painful it can be. But if I can give all of you who are suffering from this awful disease, the secret recipe to a better life it would be the following:
Decide agressively to make a change and sleep again.
- Stay Positive.
- Have Faith that you’ll get there even if you are not there yet.
- Be Patient. Make peace with your frustrations and sleepless nights, you’ll sleep again. Believe me. I was so desperate, I couldn’t believe it too.. but you’ll!!!!!
- Persist. It takes always more time to get where you want to be, than you usually thought it would. Conditioning and reconditioning yourself with positive statements that you’ll get better no matter how many sleepless nights it will still take you and that you’ll stay positive about the outcome of sleeping as a log again over and over again, is really the secret.
- Dedication, to stay positive and to believe you’ll get there no matter how long you’ll have to push yourself.
In the meantime, you are wondering what made me take that aggressive decision towards stopping being sorry for myself..
Well, obviously I already made the decision that I wanted to be better, sleep better and have a normal life as everyone has (meaning: don’t having to yawn 100 times a day and being irritated about being tired the whole day), but seemingly it was not enough to rewire that brain of mine…
I had to be more agressive towards myself and that unsleepingness and decide that NOW, right THIS MOMENT it had to STOP and to go MY WAY.
For illustration, I made this drastic decision the day I saw how tired I always was when we went on dates my boyfriend and I.
I was so tired of being tired when we planned to do something fun and couldn’t manage to stay on point because of my tiredness.
With this reason in mind, deciding to do it for the sake of our couple was one of these reasons who were so dear to my heart to finally set the brake and agressively decide that I will get better, sleep again, with the purpose to cherish these moments to the fullest and finally live up to my full potential.
To be clear don’t think that you’ve to be in a relationship to recover from insomnia, we broke up and it left me sleepless for some nights afterwards anyway.
In the end you should do it for yourself, for a goal you desperately want to reach, for a loved one, a competition you have to win, anything dear to your heart.
Just give it a try !!
But I sleep again and can finally have sleep ins as I dreamt about for so long, and in the end manage to be happy with my energy level throughout the day.
So keep faith,
Be perseverant,
Be positive,
Stay dedicated to change your life for the good,
And last but not least, be so badass your insomnia shrink away !!
xoxo,
All the best and with much love,
Rizlène
