Talking Insomnia #45: Neil is free after a 20 year struggle

When Neil starts mandatory Israeli military service at age 18 he has a completely sleepless night. When this becomes a recurring issue, his superiors arrange night duty so that he gets more opportunity for sleep. With even more time to ruminate, obsess, toss and turn - a fear develops that lasts for years.

Although the memories remain, Neil is now free from a 2 decade long struggle. Understanding sleep, understanding how the mind works and practicing meditation has brought peace.

Insomnia Insight #367: Make a BOLD (but not BIG) decision at night!

I remember once a long time ago not to make big decisions at night. It's one of those "grandpa used to say" lines, and it's true! After the brain has been awake for an extended time, our logical/rational executive thinking ability starts to deteriorate.

So perhaps the middle of the night may not be the best time for thought-work needed to sleep better. A thought download, a helpful way to demonstrate to your brain that you are aware of the negative thoughts or worries that may be driving your insomnia, may be best done during the day, when you are thinking more logically and rationally!

But an important BOLD decision can and should be made at night! Tune in to learn more!

Talking Insomnia #44: Sleeping little doesn't say anything about who you are

After three CBTi courses, a mindfulness course and two years of struggling, Erica randomly came across BedTyme on Instagram. Having worked with Coach Daniel, things have become much better, but sleep is still fragile. Erica has identified that what keeps her in a place if lingering fear is attaching meaning to sleepless nights. Feeling that sleeping well is a sign that she is “normal”, and sleeping little that something is not right.

How can Erica continue her journey towards a place of no struggle and no fear?
