I too had the light sensitivity and STILL don’t sleep well at all. Thanks for the list and tips. I’ve tried everything for the insomnia but I think after almost 2 years, I’m stuck with it. Repeat flow diversion procedures likely haven’t helped. I can’t go a year without being put under again. I think my exhaustion was, and still is, so severe that my body has been reprogrammed to stay awake despite the exhaustion, and that extends into the night. I can fall asleep but can’t stay asleep. After a few hours I’m still dead beat but can’t sleep. No racing thoughts, just laying awake too tired to move. I blame pushing myself in the early days to fight sleep when I needed it. So now I say to anyone who is able, when you feel the
need to sleep, do it!
