Has anyone here been successfully treated for a sleep disorder?

24. Two things helped me

I was feeling exhausted every morning even though I thought I was getting enough sleep. My doctor referred me for a sleep study.Turns out I had pretty severe sleep apnea. At one point apparently my oxygen level plunged to 60. It's supposed to be 90. I was prescribed the CPap machine, and it really helped. I feel a lot more energetic.

Also my mind use to race a lot at night. Worrying about, my family, my pets, the state of the world, stuff like that. It took me quite awhile to go to sleep. I ended up using Google to find a sleep podcast. It recommended this one:

It's amazing. A yoga instructor said she used to make up stories when she was a little girl on nights she had trouble falling asleep. When several of her clients told her they had trouble sleeping she told them about it. I think she made a tape for some of them or something like that, and she got tremendous feedback. So she decided to try a podcast. Now she has millions of subscribers and has a successful book that had been published in the U.S. and several different countries.

The stories are all based on the activities of the residents of Nothing Much, a fictional town. It follows people like the inn keeper, a chef, a librarian as they go through their day. There are no conflicts in the story, just a nice recap of their days. She uses mindfulness, talking about sights, sounds, smells etc. She has a very soothing voice. She advises to take two deep breaths, then just listen. Most people including myself, find themselves falling asleep within the first ten minutes or less, and waking up less during the night.

Both have really helped. My therapist even commented that my anxiety and depression symptoms are more under control since May of last year. That's when I got the C Pap machine and found the podcast!
