Emotional hangover is such a great way of putting it. This is what I am going through.

[@1timbarrett]

Thanks to Aly for reminding me that progress is rarely linear. 🙏

[@jasminesujata7032]

Just found this channel! I am à yogateacher too and struggle since 12 years since birth of my son..so helpful not to be alone and have found these vidéos.

[@brittanybowers4714]

Aloha Aly! Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm also a recovering yoga teacher and I would always think, "I should know better!". Love how you talk about truly embodying these yogic principles we study! Insomnia recovery is really a beautiful opportunity for self compassion and surrender. Looking forward to seeing more of you sharing your wisdom in the future! Brittany

Another amazing interview ! As soon as i saw Daniel have a new interview podcast, i ditched everything else just to watch the new interview with Daniel because it's not only interesting to hear another successful story also allow me to re- learning everything and be reminded again and again. All of the interview podcast from Daniel just so valuable and priceless !! Thank you Daniel and Aly for sharing and shading the lights for Insomnia community.

[@jonathanmandel8835]

Wow! This is one of the most powerful experiences I have seen. Rewriting the narrative you have created. Thanks Aly and Daniel!

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

😊!

[@carolmorehead5507]

I sure can relate to this story! I am also a yoga and meditation teacher, was hit with insomnia out of the blue - similar story, I tried ALL the same attempts, "sleep solutions", ended up on a benzo, still tapering and still unwinding from that.

[@ThatsMrGat]

Did the benzo help? Was it Ambien? Thanks for sharing!

[@keithnorman70]

"I should know better"! This is such a barrier for me too.

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Just a quick heads-up: we're hosting live Q&A sessions most weeks and we'd love for you to join us! It's a great chance to ask questions, share insights, and connect with others in the community.

[@elainep.204]

Amazing story! So encouraging for me. Also I might add so far yes, I love the support I've received from the coaches. I don't know what would have happened to me had I not found this program and this support!!

[@briechilli4496]

Beautiful interview. Thank you ❤

[@emotionalfish1181]

I've experienced many of the items you've listed recently. I've slept about 9 hours last 3 nights combined, so here I am. I'm hoping to get some help! I appreciate the knowledge, thank you.

[@handiwal44]

Fabulous interview!!!

#1 Try to let go of controllability, it means that you aren't trying to control your sleep #2 Try to not track the clock and time #3 Befriending wakefulness: try to make your waking time enjoyable or just embrace the rest #4 befriending fear : try to accept and make it easy for you to feel fear of wakefulness this leads to unlearn fear from not sleeping #5 try to make an open sleep window by not chasing sleep but rather embrace the rest #insomniarelief

[@briechilli4496]

Can i please ask Aly what mg of valium did she take daily and for how long and was it difficult to come off ?

[@sacredspacespa7680]

@briechilli4496 Hi! It was a very low dose diazepam I think 10mg, as a way of weaning off Xanax. But turns out I didn’t really need to ween as I wasn’t dependent on the Xanax. So I didn’t take it for long, maybe a few weeks. Aly

[@straightflush6095]

I would love to join the immunity program but sadly I don't have enough money for it 😢. Especially the community part would be so helpful for me. Is there any way for rate payment (I'm not from the US)? I am at a point where I really want to overcome my struggle once and for all but I feel like the books are not enough for me

[@iloveugargi]

Hi...your video has given me enough motivation ...I have quit mirtaz 15 mg...and I am doing good it's been 26 days I am not stable yet but I am managing well can I be your guest? I am ready for a paid video call will it be possible?I just want to talk to you ...I have so much belief in you...when every I suffer with panic attack I watch your video and I am back on track again...please Danial I want to talk to you...
