insomnia

Hi, Hope all you guys are doing well. I was wondering if anyone had any information related to insomnia at TMS. Its a bit of a long shot, but maybe, right?

@Ellen crafted this to explain her recovery from chronic insomnia. I don't think it's a long shot at all. Insomnia seems to be a TMS player for many people. Hope Ellen's story helps.

A long shot? Definitely not. Cortisol can cause insomnia, and stress increases cortisol. When I began really breaking down in 2016, I could barely sleep for more than two hours at a time.

Sympathetic overactivity definitely leads to insomnia.
