So powerful Cory, thank you for sharing your story. This is one of the most moving ones yet. Thank you for specifying you WILL get better, not you simply CAN. This gives so much hope; when I was struggling and somebody said I “can” it just made me feel like I had to put in more effort which was not the case, and made me less hopeful.
This might be the Talking Insomnia that does it for me. Cory's story is so similar to what I am going through, from suffering from months to seeking professional help, and getting put on axiety medications. I know the theme in almost all of these talks is that sleep is no effort, and you need to stop trying to "fix" something out of your control. But for some reason, I have yet to see it be said that you have to also LET GO of EMOTIONS around sleep. This is the first episode that made that click for me, and I am hopeful it will help me get through this bad loop ive been stuck in for months.
As an update, night after watching this video and letting it soak in I had the best nights sleep in months. I will say my sleep isn't fixed yet, but I am much more at peace with things and I am seeing improvement night by night. Thank you so much for providing this content for free; it's literally life changing.
Cory shared it so wonderfully. I was nodding alot here 😅. I guess progress is also just imagining being on one of these recovery podcasts (after some good sleep and getting past some symptoms ) but than getting anxiety because I'm not a native speaker and it'd be embarrassing not being able to share my story articulately 😭😭. Also yes towards the end where she said something like fearing that sharing her story might bring it all back. That's exactly what i fear too that if i talk about things I've dealt with that no longer bother me now I'm afraid it'll come back and I'd regret sharing that. It always has happened to me and it does in my sleep journey too where if i just had the thought that "X" thing hasn't been happening it actually happens then 🤷🏻♀️. I'm not certain why it happens but to me it seems like i had just reminded my brain what it had forgotten and now my brain either out habit (fulfills the prophecy?) and/or is doing that to test me out of the blue to see whether it's no longer a thréat. Either ways I'd really love to hear your input on it coach Daniel.
Hello This story is so comforting! Do you have any more advice or experiences of people overcoming hypersleep? I’m stuck in this phase and I’m worried cause everyone says that eventually they used to get a good night of sleep during their insomnia period but for me is always this kind of hypersleep
So glad you found it and, listen to the Talking insomnia episode with Betul, it helps so much when we see they there’s nothing special about hyper sleep, just one of many ways we can experience being a bit on edge. Rooting for you
Hi Christian, Yes definitely. When we are hyperaroused, everything looks like a threat! Including what we otherwise would have just called “I’m a bit tired cause I slept little last night”
Can’t fall asleep and if I do can’t stay asleep 😢is it bcz my brain is dysfunctioning or I have some imbalance I don’t know . 3months before it was all good but one day when ever I am trying to feel asleep my head will give me reflex or head spinning type of filling since then I can’t sleep at all for 3months. Is it deadly?
@Sunflowersarepretty "Watch this channel in hopes of only understanding what's happening" This is such helpful advice for those of us like me who find this kind of content can trigger even more anxiety about sleep. Thank you 🙏🏻💖
@@gamingworld3803 who did you tag here? If it's me than i'll tell ya smth I Intentionally don't keep track of the hours I slept because it gives me anxiety. If I had to guess probably five hours 😭🤷🏻♀️.
@@Sunflowersarepretty ok , with my case it’s hard for me to fall asleep and if I do then 3-4hrs then I wake up again and it’s harder to fall asleep cause I already have some rest so just fall asleep watch dreams for 30mins and wake up again I don’t know what to say abt that I was a great sleeper 3-4months ago as I would sleep when ever I want and sleep for 8-10hrs and in free days 12hrs I never thought will ever face this
Sir during towards the recovery Stage.i was awake at 5 am but i cant fall sleep back but still i am getting 6 hours sleep. I want 7 hours sleep. My bed time 11pm. What will i do?. Continue to be friendfull with wakeness or something .pls reply sir.
@pratheevrajj4705 yes! It can be a bit tricky to see the time, but we can sometimes put a little tape there or we can just be okay with seeing the time 🙂
I wanted to ask this- I'm a dropper student preparing for an exam which is in may. So I stay at home 24/7 since 8 months now. I don't do any physical activity, i have developed mobile addiction since I stay at home all the time so my screen time is 10-12 hours. Im always lying on the bed watching phone and without sleep my life has become a mess. I've no routine i dont know what im doing. Is this contributing to my insomnia? Like should i stop using so much phone and work out a bit or instead of lying down on bed all the time, should do some work? Please suggest me.
Hi Tanu, we say it’s all about intent. Someone can be in bed aaaallll day and sleep well if they’re not doing anything with the intent to control sleep. Or - avoiding something with the intent to control sleep. For example if you go “I’m gonna be more active to pump up sleep drive to sleep”, that’s tricky. On the other hand when we do what we like, or what we have to (like studying) or what beings us meaning without any hidden agenda, then sleep falls into place by itself. Rooting for you
@jazmin exactly same here , I’ve noticed that my sleep depends on where I am in my cycle. What does your sleep look like ? My problem is early awakenings and not being able to fall back asleep 😢

Such a powerful story and it all makes so much sense, thank you 😊

Hello,
Can hyperarousal trick us into confusing the emotional fatigue , at least partialy, with the sleep depravation due to a not such a great night?
Hi Christian,
Yes definitely. When we are hyperaroused, everything looks like a threat! Including what we otherwise would have just called “I’m a bit tired cause I slept little last night”
Can’t fall asleep and if I do can’t stay asleep 😢is it bcz my brain is dysfunctioning or I have some imbalance I don’t know . 3months before it was all good but one day when ever I am trying to feel asleep my head will give me reflex or head spinning type of filling since then I can’t sleep at all for 3months.

@ last time u slept 6+ hrs?

@@clarebear4313 I would recommend watching the "Natto" playlist. That should be a starting point.

Sir during towards the recovery
Stage.i was awake at 5 am but i cant fall sleep back but still i am getting 6 hours sleep. I want 7 hours sleep. My bed time 11pm. What will i do?. Continue to be friendfull with wakeness or something .pls reply sir.
Hi! Not knowing the time, not calculating or measuring, this really helps us arrive where we want to be 😊
@thesleepcoachschool8192 is it ok to watch mobile in bed when I can't fall back sleep at night .pls reply
@pratheevrajj4705 yes! It can be a bit tricky to see the time, but we can sometimes put a little tape there or we can just be okay with seeing the time 🙂
Don't think you have insomnia. You are getting 6 hours of sleep which is pretty good
6 hours is awesome:) what could help is releasing yourself from the idea that you need 7 hours
