Insomnia caused by anxiety

In reply to Clonazepam poop-out, posted by Guy on August 12, 2003, at 22:11:25

I guess the reason clonazepam worked so long is the fact that my insomnia is caused mainly by anxiety. I have actually developed a phobia of not sleeping, and tend to get anxious rather than relaxed at bedtime. If only I were phobic about snakes, spiders or the like, I could simply avoid them. Just my rotten luck to be afraid of my bed...I face the same fears every night and often obsess all day about what a horrible night I am going to have. I've tried all kinds of relaxation techniques, but can't seem to overcome this involuntary response to insomnia. Sleep resriction is a joke for someone who gets 1 - 2 hours of sleep per night.
