I’d be interested to know if alternatives to typical sleep advice might be considered more, specifically for an insomniac with major depression/suicidal ideation. Personally have found the “turn everything off and just wait it out” type approach to be really bad for me. I still don’t sleep and my mental health gets much worse. Instead I’ve learned to do something that occupies and distracts my mind if possible (art or reading primarily) until my body finally just shuts down. It can take a long time but with depression, to me, it’s preferable. I just wonder if a more unique approach should be considered with all patients who have a specific combo of severe insomnia with mental illness.
