@@jazk3409 I go to bed when Im tired/sleepy and then I get out of bed at the same time every morning. I realized staying in bed and trying to catch up on lost sleep is just another sleep effort.
@@rohitthotakuraSounds like you have already been through boat load of drugs for sleep and you are still on some. Pls educate yourself on how to safely taper off.

Whatever Sleep you are getting now could be due to drugs .If it turned against you , there is hardly anything available that will make you feel sleepy. Pharmaceutical HARM IS REAL.
Week 2 after discovering Daniel’s videos. 15 years of insomnia. Gone from extreme anxiety at night and dreadful days to calm nights and normal days. Sleeping in 3 x 3 hour cycles which is great for me! Thank you Daniel. You are a star! Question: waking naturally at 8 but unable to break the bad habit of staying in bed for 1-1 1/2 hrs after waking. Any tips?
This is wonderful you’re seeing things shift in such a nice way, thanks for sharing 🙂! And you know, I definitely say self kindness helps so so much. Instead of being hard on ourselves we can make those hours in bed as nice as we can, see it as a nice kind act for ourselves
@@robinw8731I'm glad that things turned around for you. Sounds like instantly. Mine is taking a bit longer. Can you share what you did to get back to how you slept before? Were you consumed with thinking of sleep during your waking hours?
@@ackphilchi6880 Hi. No not instantly at all. I’ve struggled with insomnia for 15 years. I think what helped was realising I could function during the day with little sleep so that made the wakefulness at night less traumatic. I’m retired recently though so there is less pressure on me to perform during the day.
Interesting interview! I’m currently in a big speed bump. Several nights of zero or little sleep in a row after doing pretty well for a couple of months. Very anxious and really discouraged. I hope to get to the other side soon.
It’s often exactly so, intellectually it makes sense but it takes a while for it to sink in deeper. You can search for insomnia insight North Star for more on this
Food was my big one! Eat enough don’t allow your body to go in fight or flight. Avoid alcohol plzzzzz just like benzo you end up feeling shit if drinking late and more then one glass
@ValissaGarcia no, not by itself! It’s again how we think about things that matter. Someone can be fasting for days and have great peace of mind, another person can be hungry and think “oh no, I messed up my balance!” and THIS, the thought can make us frazzled, not fasting

Hi Rohit. How did you manage to get off the xanax?
From what I remember, I just stopped taking it all at once when I switched to a new medicine
This guy is a godsend. Thank you
"It is what it is" might have saved my life in the early stages.
LOL THAT WAS PROBABLY ME ON REDDIT RECOMMENDING YOUR CHANNEL...
Thank you for spreading the word 🙏!!

How are you doing now
Is there anything that you can do for me. My insomnia is taking over my life and health
Hang in there Gigi, spend some time learning here and things can truly change, rooting for you
This is where I'm stuck at hypersleep every night, soo big improvement on zero nights but just can't seem to get passed the hypersleep 😥
Hang in there Tracy, allowing and less problem solving lead to this big improvement… and the same leads the where you want to be
@@thesleepcoachschool8192 thank you Daniel 👍
So it's all hyperarousel. And we don't have any control. In my mind i get it. But it can be so hard to deal with during the day & night.

Not eating can trigger fight or flight?😮

Such a challenge for our brains to unlearn from the place it devled into, there has to be a genetic predisposition to this.
Need some help
But then I need to know how to fix my hypersousal

Xanax for sleep! Go to another doctor. They are pathetic. I’m glad you are back on track.
