In this testimonial, a patient shares her personal experience living with chronic insomnia that she had been dealing with for almost thirty years. She describes bluntly what life is like for a person with insomnia: a problem that leads to others, such as irritability or low spirits, and that ends up conditioning everyday aspects such as travelling or sharing a room.
She recounts that over the years she had tried numerous drug therapies and had seen various professionals, without finding a solution that did not lead to a growing dependence on medication. She reached, as she describes it, a point of great despair and deep scepticism when, in 2021, she began non-invasive neuromodulation.
She recounts that, after about three months, she began to notice an improvement: she slept more hours and with better sleep quality, which allowed her to gradually reduce her medication. With a schedule of sessions that she spaced out to a monthly maintenance session, she describes having regained something very valuable to her: losing the fear of going to bed and being able to sleep for several hours in a row, waking up happy. She also stresses that this is a painless treatment with no side effects and, while acknowledging that she still has the occasional setback, she encourages other people with chronic insomnia to learn about her experience.
