I woke up groggy.
The worst part? My doctor never explained WHY I couldn't sleep. They just wrote the prescription and moved on to the next patient.
What I learned shocked me:









Lying awake for 2-3 hours every night, brain racing, knowing you're going to reach for the pills again
Waking up groggy and disoriented, not actually feeling rested no matter how many hours you "slept"
The constant anxiety: "Am I addicted? Will I ever sleep without medication? What am I doing to my body?"
Needing higher and higher doses just to get the same effect—feeling your tolerance building and knowing you're trapped
That shame and guilt every time you take a pill, feeling weak and broken compared to people who can "just sleep"
Living day to day exhausted, foggy, unmotivated—knowing your sleep is stealing your life but feeling powerless to change it

Falling asleep naturally within 10-15 minutes—no pills, no anxiety, no racing thoughts
Waking up actually rested and energized, like you've been properly sleeping for the first time in years
The relief of knowing you're OFF the medication cycle and your body is healing itself
Consistent 7-8 hour sleep every night without needing to increase doses or chase a moving target
Confidence and pride: your sleep is back under your control, and you did it yourself
Living with clarity, energy, and peace of mind—no more exhaustion, fog, or anxiety dominating your days
