I think I've had chronic insomnia for about 20 years now. I sleep 5 or 6 hours on good nights. Sometimes less. Don't have trouble falling asleep. The prob is waking and tossing and turning. Agree that the problem is probably psychological combined with aging. Since i cant forsake work, computer and cell phone screens for a year on a beach in mexico(which I think would fix the problem) I'll try the app.

Sorry to hear about your insomnia. I know from first-hand experience how chronic insomnia can be debilitating and make one feel incredibly lonely. It might help to know that you're not alone. Over 50% of our users have insomnia for over a year, and many are able to find ways to improve their sleep through our app.

For a while, I just accepted the fact that insomnia is something I've to live with (it's easy to feel that way especially if it has lasted for so long), but that's just not true. There are ways to better cope with your insomnia even if you're not able to resolve it entirely. Give our app a try and let me know if you have any questions.

I quit my tech career to fix my sleep and it mostly worked. I sustain my lifestyle through iOS app revenue, and when I have sleep trouble or wrist pain, I simply rest. I recommend reconsidering your career choices.
