Ask Daniel #57: To Luke and Ricardo
Saturday Jun 20, 2020
Saturday Jun 20, 2020
Luke asks about ACT and CBT. When is the former a good option and how has our thinking about ACT developed? Ricardo is on his second week of spending less time in bed. So far it’s been a bumpy ride and he wonders if sleeping from 8 on to 1 am would be better as this has been refreshing in the past.

Insomnia Insight #321: How to Forecast your Sleep
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
Predicting the weather is possible because whether it rains or not is not affected by your forecast. How you will sleep tonight or in three weeks is a very different story.
The only forecasting you should do is answer these two questions: Do you want to sleep better? Are you willing to do some work?

Ask Daniel #56: It Will Not Go On Forever
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Tuesday Jun 16, 2020
Jay is waking up much earlier than in the past and tries not to worry. Karan slept well until COVID and is wondering if just staying up until naturally feeling sleepy is a good idea? Ricardo has started CBTi. He feels really sleepy at 6 pm but at 11 pm all that sleepiness has evaporated. Why does this happen and how can he keep that sleep drive until later? Colleen is in a stretch of little sleep. She wonders, is it really important not to talk to friends? It takes Jerry longer and longer to fall asleep despite taking medications. What’s going on?

Insomnia Insight #319: You Must Avoid These Three Mistakes
Thursday Jun 11, 2020
Thursday Jun 11, 2020
In this episode we talk about the three problems with textbook CBTi:
1. Setting an extremely short sleep window
2. The rule of getting out of bed if not sleeping in 20 minutes
3. The rule of using the bed only for sleep
We also go over the better approaches:
1. Set a sleep window that you can commit to for weeks or more
2. Get out of bed only if you're frustrated
3. Use the bed for anything that gives you pleasure!

Insomnia Insight #318: Two Magical Moments
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
In this episode we talk about to magical moments. One is when you have an insight, an understanding that transforms how do you think about sleep. This will happen to you as long as you’re willing to learn and keep an open mind.The other magical moment is the experience of sleeping without having done anything to produce sleep. This happens when you don’t do anything that can explain away the magic.
