My question is simply are there any solutions for sleeping with DID, so my alters would not be active nighttime? I very likely have DID and PTSD and I would like to know if there is any non-medicational ways to prefer for better nighttime sleep so my alters would not be so active during night?

Hello samsamp: I don't know a lot about dissociative disorders. But I noticed you had yet to receive a reply to your post. So I thought I would at least welcome you to Psych Central. Hopefully there will yet be other PC members who will have insights they can offer.

Here are links to 3 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that may be of interest:

In-Depth: Understanding Dissociative Disorders

The First Line of Treatment for Insomnia That'll Surprise You

Putting the Fear of Sleeplessness to Rest

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

Hi there! I'm no pro on DID. I did notice that you said you very likely have DID. I would really encourage you to seek out someone licensed to help answer this question. I feel like they would very much be able to help you understand what you have and help you know how it specifically affects you and how to handle your sleep. not that others can't on here. I'm sure they can! Anyways welcome!

Hmm, communication. Working with them, finding out what they want, what they need etc. When you can address the need or issue that keeps them active at night you can work out ways to deal with it and stop it from happening. It's not a quick fix, but it really works.
