Rising higher and louise hay are some guided sleep meditations free on youtube.

Also medication when needed may be needed with help from your dr.

I used to exercise at 1 am for a half hour .

After replying to your post, I jinxed myself and now I've just gone a whole night, 12 hours+ with no minute of sleep.

Going to break your record of 7 days, I reckon.

And my sleep pills are already confiscated when I was admitted to hospital so now I must rely on Lavender oil. Have you tried Lavender oil before @Rhymster ?

Yesterday the dr gave Me a script for meds which used to be for bp but they discovered it helps those with PTSD to sleep by inhibiting adrenaline production. [edited by moderator] So last night for the first time ever I got a solid five hours sleep without even waking up to pee. Best of all they are not addictive
