Like many girls my age, I dabbled in Wicca in high school. My parents weren’t particularly religious, and I considered myself an atheist in middle school. But it was hard to deny the appeal of the Goddess. American culture is unkind to teen girls.

Here is a dispatch from Facebook, about my first CBT-I appointment in July 2024. This was an hour-long intake appointment, giving the doctor an overview of my history.

Once I hit puberty, I became a bad sleeper.

Various remedies and treatments might help for a brief time, yet I remained tired. In 2024, I sought treatment for my insomnia, and I started writing about it, too. Please join me on my quest to just get some rest.
