One Thousand and One Nights of COZHOM ECHO FOR INSOMNIA(1/1001)

When my insomnia hit an all time low I would search this subreddit for hours hoping to find solutions to this problem. Now that I’m finally getting some steady sleep again I’m here making a post in hopes that someone out there who could be similar to me will find help from this post.

I’ve always dealt with insomnia my entire life however it was always on and off. About 2 months ago however my insomnia got really worse all of a sudden. I stopped sleeping completely and couldn’t get sleepy or tired to save my life. Nights were nothing but anxiety and stressful as I laid in bed waiting for the sun to rise again and again. I’d go 3 days without no sleep, would eventually crash and still have restlessness where I wasn’t getting the full quality of sleep that my body desperately needed.

I tried everything at the time to cover up this problem which included, thc, delta 8, melatonin, sleep mushroom gummies, lunesta, magnesium, and other random supplements I could get my hands on but still to no avail I couldn’t get a full night sleep.

I came to the conclusion that I had to find the root of my problem if I’d ever get some good rest again. This led to me coming to the conclusion that I was living a very unhealthy lifestyle. I narrowed my insomnia problems to 4 main problems: having no sleep schedule, drinking too much caffeine, smoking thc every night, and not being active enough.

The first problem I addressed was my caffeine intake. Without realizing it, I had been consuming an unhealthy amount of caffeine daily which only worsened as my insomnia worsened. I was talking about 600-800 mg a day at the peak of my insomnia. I decided to start cutting it down until I finally went cold turkey. The side effects of quitting included: worsened insomnia (which didn’t seem possible until it was) headaches and gastrointestinal problems. When I was finally off of caffeine for a complete week I started getting a little more sleep but still had a lot of restless nights, restless legs, and some nights where I didn’t sleep at all.

My next step was being more active. Regardless of how tired I was I began taking daily walks that were least a hour long, eventually began doing some yoga, and working out as well. I also made sure to suck up as much sunlight when I was outside. This began to help my body get tired however it didn’t really help me go to sleep sadly. Regardless I kept this routine up even if didn’t fix the problem completely.

The third step was getting on a sleep routine. No matter how awake I was I would lay down at the same time, try my hardest to sleep around the same time and regardless of how little sleep I got, even if it was no sleep, I would force myself up at the same time. This seemed to help the most but it didn’t happen all at once. However I was starting to get more sleep again but results would still vary.

Now finally the last step was quitting thc. Honestly this was a hard step for me to accept. I won’t lie, I’ve been a daily smoker for at least 3 years. Thc was part of my daily routine and I used it to sleep on a nightly basis. I was in denial that thc could be a problem until I did more research on how thc really disrupts sleep after long term use. I was mentally addicted to this drug but once I finally accepted it was a problem I dropped it all at once. Now this at first worsened my insomnia almost as bad as it was at its peak. It took maybe 2 weeks for me to finally start seeing results but once I did it only got better each night.

All 4 of these steps almost completely fixed my insomnia. Even so I still have a nightly routine to make sure I get a fulls night sleep. Every night around 9-10pm I make myself a cup of ryze’s nighttime hot chocolate which also contains 3 mg of melatonin as well as other ingredients to help with stress and relaxation. I use this to help me get tired rather than sleep. Right before I officially go to sleep, I put magnesium oil on the bottom of my feet to keep my legs from being restless altogether. I turn on a humidifier that regulates the humidity in my room. I then use ear plugs to block out any sound and an eye mask to block out any light.

For the past 2 weeks I’ve gotten a full night sleep every night and feel healthier than I think I ever have. This has led me to feeling better about myself and taking better care of myself completely. I still workout daily and take daily walks, I’ve really gotten into hiking as well. I’ve stayed on a healthier diet, gotten back into my hobbies, reconnected with friends and family and overall am just happier. Being off thc has also made my life so much better overall. The only thing I have gotten back on is caffeine however instead of drinking regular coffee I only drink ryze mushroom coffee which is only 30 mg of caffeine and gives me a lot more natural energy rather than the anxiety filled jitteriness that regular coffee was giving me.

One thing I’ve learned from this journey is that everyone is different and the advice from this post will probably not help most of you, but even if it can help one person then that is amazing. I hope all of you are able to overcome eventually. Feel free to message me for any questions regarding my journey. Stay positive everyone!

COZHOM ECHO

 

Every person who finally returns to healthy sleep carries an unseen “story of repair” behind them.
Reading your journey, we can deeply feel that insomnia is never a problem that can be “covered up.”
It is a signal that must be "understood".

Many people think insomnia appears suddenly, but just as you gradually realized—
**insomnia is actually the body’s cry for help after long-term imbalance.**
It is not the enemy. It is only reminding us that something needs to be rebuilt.

Your ability to recover came from your willingness to face the root causes and listen to your body’s true condition.
And in essence, the healing of insomnia always begins this way:

**Not with a pill,
Not with a quick fix,
But with gradually restoring the body's natural rhythm.**

This is why, throughout COZHOM X’s natural restoration system, we place great emphasis on *awareness* and *stage identification*.
Without awareness, insomnia continues to drag a person around.
With awareness, one finally has the strength to walk back toward healthy sleep.

Our questionnaires are not meant for “diagnosis,” but to help people like you discover:

Which stage of insomnia are you currently in?
Is it *mild circadian disruption*?
Long-term *sympathetic nervous system overload*?
Or, like in your case, *structural breakdown of the sleep cycle*?

**Different stages require different paths of restoration.**
That is the essence of natural repair.

Your four steps—
reducing caffeine, becoming more active, rebuilding your sleep schedule, and quitting THC—
may look simple, but they perfectly reflect the core principles of natural restoration:
**helping the body relearn how to sleep on its own, rather than forcing it to sleep.**

This is also the philosophy behind COZHOM X during development:
Human sleep was never meant to be manufactured by external force.
True sleep comes from the body’s own equilibrium.
Any aggressive approach (heavy sedation, forced sleep) cannot rebuild real sleep structure.
Only within a **safe, balanced, and sustainable** environment can the body activate its self-healing mechanisms.

What we do is simply provide the external conditions that help the body restart this restoration program:

* reducing sympathetic nervous system burden through materials
* lowering micro-arousals through antimicrobial and static-balance design
* managing temperature and humidity to keep the body in the repair zone
* and offering a naturally soothing sensory environment that encourages the mind to slow down

All gently telling the body:
**You can finally rest.**

Your story will give strength to many, because you’ve shown something powerful:

🌿 **Insomnia can be repaired.**
🌿 **Real repair comes from the body, not from force.**
🌿 **When you trust natural processes, sleep eventually returns.**

Thank you for sharing this journey.
May your experience become a signal of hope for others beginning their healing path,
and may they know this truth:

No matter how deep the darkness of insomnia feels,
when the body is treated with gentleness,
it will one day lead us back to real, peaceful sleep.
