    Kimberly,
    Thank you for the information. I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. My doctor did give me some medication to help, but I still only sleep a few hours. I am working with a nurse specialist on this, but wondered if this is a “new norm”. I have been a great sleeper for years, so this has had me wondering if it will resolve.

    Sometimes it is my mind racing, but much of the time it is like my sleep center has forgotten how to kick in. This is what I first noticed prior to finding out I had a thyroid issue. Like a switch is turned on to, “no sleep. I feel tired, but sleep doesn’t happen unless I take something. Even then it doesn’t always help.

    I will check out the link. Any estimates the “average” time people go through this phase of insomnia?

    Thank you
