Your channel came into my feed today by no accident. Emily's story is mine except she caught on quicker than I did. Mine has been almost 40 years. I might have a small problem with control and safety. 😉. This program sounds a lot like Alanon which has helped me tremendously. I'm going to give it a go because my best thinking hasn't worked. I loved your comment to Emily about kindness and compassion for ourselves. God bless you for what you are doing. We recover when we realize we are not alone.

[@LesBeautridge]

Emily's experience is exactly me at this time. EXACTLY ! The obsession and fear of going to ved and fearing i won't dleep

[@InsomniaCoach]

You definitely are not alone! I hope Emily's story gave you some ideas on how to move forward from the difficult situation you find yourself in and I wish you all the best!

What I have figured after 3 years of brutal insomnia: the less you care, the better you sleep pls do not get sold on all the tracking apps, watches rings, whoops if you are already struggling with sleep. Sleep is the same thing as breathing, it is going to happen either you want it or not :))

[@InsomniaCoach]

I believe you are onto something there! I think we'll always care whenever problems or concerns are present - maybe what matters more is how we respond because our response often determines our level of struggle and how much power and influence these challenges have over our lives. I have a feeling you'll really identify with episode 61 of the podcast: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6q5iZ6hh5p1rKM

Are you fully recovered? How bad was your insomnia

[@PeacefulSleepNetwork]

@@lillianyoukhana8451 yeah now I'm sharing what helped me on my yt channel

[@lillianyoukhana8451]

@@roosterafterhours2 I don’t think that’s true, I know of many people that struggled for years and they no longer suffer anymore and sleep just fine. Also on personal experience my struggle and fear was worse and had greatly improved.

[@mestayno]

God bless you too for this episode.

[@InsomniaCoach]

I wish you all the best!

[@jeffkramer28]

This is a really great episode. I feel like she is describing me.

[@InsomniaCoach]

From person to person, the insomnia struggle is often so similar! This also means that transformation is always possible, regardless of how difficult the struggle might be at the current time.

Hey Coach, I have a question about this Sleep State Misconception A few days ago, I was tired and fell asleep around 12Am but kinda felt like I was "awake" until 4Am but I did manage to sleep and dream after that . But could the issues be also loud noises? Cause there are frogs squeaking next our home at midnight.

@@InsomniaCoach That‘s why I got here doc. I just wanted to know if sounds can have impact the way I sleep aswell

[@zoonzoon4164]

Ok I just wish if Martin answers me …. I have insomnia many years I dealt with very good I slept normally for years… but I don’t know what happening to me these days! It has been a month and half now and I sleep well like for two days and then I don’t sleep at all zero sleep! Is this normal? Should I keep what I have learned in your course? I believe it will help but I hate this situation it’s weird why I sleep normally for days and it happens again and again?

[@PeacefulSleepNetwork]

I know how you feel, What helped me is just letting of the fact that I have insomnia, even good sleepers sleep good only 80% of the time, so it is normal to not sleep sometimes, what we insomniacs do is we try and fix something that doesn't need to be fixed
