Summary
Alpine 42144 has been ill for about 13 months, since severe insomnia began in June 2025 with no stressful or traumatic trigger around then, and suspects mild but disabling ME/CFS, though undiagnosed. CPAP, Lexapro and trazodone made sleep more regular, but most nights they still get only about six hours and feel unrefreshed once up. Supplements and sleep hygiene did not fix the problem.
