Juliane Pannenbäcker suffered from a sleep disorder for a long time, was exhausted and desperate – until she found a way out for herself. Today she sleeps well again.

“Everyone is sleeping, but me!” How often did I lie awake at night with this thought in my head. It put a lot of pressure on me and worried me: What am I doing wrong? When I went to bed, I couldn’t fall asleep for ages. When I did manage to do so, I would wake up after a short while at the slightest noise and feel like I hadn’t slept. And often my night was over by 4 a.m. I spent my days in survival mode. The lack of sleep robbed me of all my strength and joy of life. It was enough to drive me to despair. Today, thankfully, everything is different. I hardly ever sleep! But it was a long road to get there.
