Do any of you have insomnia?

[Plinco]

I've had insomnia for most of my adult life, and it has progressively gotten worse. I have a type of insomnia, called terminal insomnia. I'll go to sleep just fine, and then wake up three to five hours later, tired, but full of cortisol and adrenaline. I've tried everything natural to cure this, and it's not fun.

What have tried to improve your sleep?

How old are you? I always sense the average age at this message board is around 20 years old

How old are you?

41

I've tried everything on the internet that advises on how to cure insomnia. My issue is low blood sugar around 2-3 in the morning, that brings about a release of cortisol.

Hows your exercise regimen and diet? Do you take brisk walks everyday and have a diet full of vegetables and fruit with dairy? Activities such as Yoga and tai chi would do you some good. How's your spiritual life? Do you meditate and have moments of peaceful silent contemplations before going to sleep? Try reading a novel or two. But it really boils down to diet and exercise and filling your days with productive activities to get you going.

This is the type of input you'll see throughout the internet.

I'd like to see if there are any more folks on here who have this type of insomnia. As the brain ages, it tends to produce less melatonin. Something like a relatively minor blood sugar/cortisol dis-regulation can cause insomnia.
