[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 658219, member: 13542"] Hi Nomad. I had a similar experience after going through a lot of stress last summer. The one thing that worked out very well for me is continuing with acupuncture. It offers a deep relaxation which then helps with sleeping. My girlfriend had a similar experience and started going to an herbalist which she says helped tremendously. I usually try to find a holistic approach, so that's where I go first. For me, what helps in all ways is every week I do something for myself which is very relaxing. Twice a month I go for an acupuncture appointment, once a month I go to a reflexologist (which helped me a lot with that same deep relaxation) and once a month I have a massage. In addition, I meditate and do guided meditations for relaxation. You might try YOUTUBE for relaxation visualizations for helping with sleep, I find them all very helpful. I've had a lifetime of much stress, I see it as accumulative.....in order to keep myself in a healthy place now, I have to incorporate a lot of "maintenance" about keeping my whole self in as relaxed and peaceful a place as I can. Good luck, sleep deprivation makes everything much more difficult! [/QUOTE]
