Question
if a person had had severe insomnia for 2 months how long should it take to recover and get a normal sleep pattern back. Also when I do get some sleep, the next day i feel out of it and somewhat depressed, is that common?
Answer
It can take 8-10 weeks,however if you are taking any sleep meds that could be the reason to feel depressed, and also insomnia is lack of sleeping and sleep is our body and minds way to rest so when that is disrupted so is our way of thinking and feeling,physically and emotionally.I suggest you go to a website called sleepnet.com,and click on insomnia and read all about it.If this persist i would go to a sleep center but my guess is perhaps you are at one already,since you seem pretty sure it was severe.Feel free to write again,good luck,karel
