Hi
As you will know if you have read my other posts, I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for a long time, and therefore have had periods of insomnia as well. As this sleep aid has served me well I thought it could help others.
To start with you should try this when you are completely ready to sleep ie: you are comfortably settled in bed with no distractions, tv, radio etc., and with the lights off. You must try to empty your mind of all thoughts of what's happened today or what may be happening tomorrow which will cause anxiety or panic, and completely concentrate on your breathing. It will be hard to do at first, but keep trying to concentrate on your breathing, in and out, in and out. It may take a few days or a week but you must persevere because it does work. With practice you will begin too see your breathing get slower and slower as you become more, and more relaxed. Eventually you will wake up after a few days to the realisation that it has worked without your immediate knowledge of it the night before.
Once you have been able to use it the first time, each further attempt will become easier, and you will be able to use this method any time you need.
It took me probably about a week for success, but from then on I could attain sleep successfully almost always.
Remember anything worthwhile never comes easily.
Good Luck and my regards.
