Thank you for uploading these. It helps so much to hear stories from fellow insomnia sufferers.

[@jonathanmandel8835]

Great experience! Thanks Richard and Daniel! 2 main points I got from this video: 1) It’s important not to push away uncomfortable feelings like anxiety, or these feelings often get worse. Instead just be with these feelings and accept them. 2) People with insomnia have plenty of sleep drive and thus sleep drive shouldn’t be the focus. Instead the focus should be on addressing hyperarousal

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

So glad it made sense Jonathan and - spot on, those are super helpful and true 😊

[@jeffreywp]

I really appreciated this interview with Richard, Daniel. It’s probably one of your best.

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

So glad to hear Jeffrey 😊! I took a screenshot and sent to Richard, he’ll be just as glad 🙏

[@pattidunegan8395]

This is awesome. This interview and the recent one with the therapist who is Also a coach are the two I most relate with in my own journey. My story is a combo of these two! Finally living my life again. It took a long time. I’ve worked with Beth also! ❤ I’d be happy to share, finally comfortable with doing that!😊

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

“Finally living my life again” - so wonderful to see these lines 😊! And so glad these last stories have resonated so mucha. Would love to have you as a guest!! Oh and Beth would probably love to have you on her podcast as well, so I want to book you first! Just send an email to [e-mail] and we can look at a time. Thanks 🙏!!

Hi coach Daniel and coach Richard really enjoyed listening to this, when I was in the the thick of it with my insomnia the hyper arousal was just horrendous and yes I definitely agree about cbti focusing on sleep drive ..cbti didn’t work for me either ..all the rules and noting everything .. made me worse I’m convinced .. I was seeing this counsellor one to one paying a lot of money luckily not too many sessions before I realised and then I googled and googled and found this channel. I’m better now.. ( I know coach Daniel knows this and I don’t wanna tempt fate by saying this 😂) but I still enjoy and find these success stories brilliant .. like yours coach Richard ..Such an insight .❤

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

Hi Janine, So many will resonate with what you shared here, thanks is much and - thanks for the support 😊 so glad things are easier for you and that you still check in sometimes!

[@gabortomanek3180]

Hello Daniel! You help me a lot with these podcasts. I always find myself coming back to these videos whenever i am having speed bumps / bad nights. I have recently moved to a new rent and its in front of a veeery busy street. We got these very old trams in Hungary and whenever they pass by the whole apartment shakes lol. So i purchased some earplugs, which is obviously a step towards sleep effort. There is this tendency when i am sleeping okay-ish for some time, say 6-7-8 hours, and then, boom something comes along and disrupts my sleep (like this recent move to this new flat). I do know its all about acceptance and being okay with it but still its so damn hard sometimes.

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

Hang in there, I know this is so much easier said that done but, when these episodes become something we see as a time where we can practice what we know is the way… they can help much.

Hi Gábor!im also from Hungary, do u wanna share experiences? Let me know :)

Yay, Coach Richard! Amazing story and I love the Richard shrugged so much 🧡

The shrug and the clap 😊

Would like to hear more about his taper? Glad he was able to get off the meds.

Hi Daniel. Can you help with my insomnia? Do you have any training classes that I can attend? I really need help at this point. Thank you so much

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

Hi! Yes check the This is Natto playlist, link in description, hang in there and let us know how things go 👍

[@christinehanley9561]

Are there any sleep coaches in Australia? Who work and support people with our time frame?

[@Veronika-zy1to]

Hi Christine, in the Insomnia Immunity program we support people from all timezones by adding extra drop in calls in times they suit them.

[@musclezetherapies6133]

Yeeees please… I am from Melbourne and would love to have someone here

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

Hi! I’d love to see someone from Australia become a sleep coach… don’t know of anyone so far

[@musclezetherapies6133]

I would love to be a coach but I am still learning to sleep well again. I guess I do not qualify?

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

@musclezetherapies6133 you know, this is actually a common question, many of our coaches were still on the journey when they started the program. I’d say if you can imagine helping someone without mind going (but what about me?) then you may be in a nice place from which to start.

[@soblessedchelsea59]

My husbands snoring is my trigger right now. If I hear him snoring my anxiety kicks in then I struggle to sleep. I have to leave the bed to sleep. I tell myself that even people with out insomnia have trouble sleeping with a snoring partner.

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

Oh yes, sleep disruption can bother us all. But as you point out, it may be the anxiety from the snoring that creates more difficulties than the snoring itself. Maybe check insomnia insight 513, that can help.

[@ackphilchi6880]

I’m wondering how Richard managed the practice medicine when he had insomnia?

[@thesleepcoachschool8192]

It’s hard to imagine sometimes but, he says just like everyone else that someone we have resources inside we don’t even know are there…

[@mmedeuxchevaux]

Can insomnia caused by autonomous or central nervous system dysfunction be helped by CBT-i? Not everyone has insomnia with a psychological cause. If I pursue CBTi, I look forward to booking with Richard.
