Just a clarification and some assumptions to proceed with for my question.
Just for the sake of discussion, please assume a few things, which for the most part, are true in my case:
1.) I have diligently and exhaustively tried non-BZ hypnotics like trazodone, TCAs, etc, and found them to be either ineffective or intolerable or both.
2.) I am cognizant of sleep hygiene techniques and am not contributing to my insomnia by poor sleep hygiene or other behavioral factors.
3.) All of my other underlying psychiatric disorders have been aggressively treated and are in full or nearly full remission.
4.) Despite #1, #2, and #3, my insomnia is persistent.
I just didn't want to take up your time going over ground I've already been over. The question was more philosophical than practical anyway.
