I need 8 hours of sleep to feel refreshed and function well during the day

When I don’t get the proper amount of sleep on a given night, I need to catch up on the next day by napping or on the next night by sleeping longer.

I am concerned that chronic insomnia may have serious consequences on my physical health.

I am worried that I may lose control over my ability to sleep

After a poor nights sleep, I know that it will interfere with my daily activities on the next day

In order to be alert and function well during the day, I am better off taking a sleeping pill rather than having a poor night’s sleep.

When I feel irritated, depressed, or anxious during the day, it is mostly because I did not sleep well the night before.

When I sleep poorly on one night, I know it will disturb my sleep schedule for the whole week

Without an adequate night’s sleep, I can hardly function the next day.

I have little ability to manage the negative consequences of disturbed sleep

When I feel tired, have no energy, or just seem not to function well during the day, it is generally because I did not sleep well the night before.

I believe insomnia is essentially the result of a chemical imbalance.

I feel insomnia is ruining my ability to enjoy life and prevents me from doing what I want.

A “nightcap”(an alcoholic drink) before bedtime is a good solution to sleeplessness.

It usually shows in my physical appearance when I haven’t slept well
