- Опубликовано: 1 фев 2022
- In this episode, Saniya shares is a powerful tale of courage, kindness and letting go. We hear of a 35 min long panic attack leading to an ER visit, moving back in with parents and having her mom hold her hand at night, and the freedom and relief that comes with the inner work. This episode will resonate with you especially much if you are a type A person and doubt that recovery is possible. It is.

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience. I have so many similar experiences. Grad school, panic attacks, type A personality, scared husband. All of it. I have been through rough experiences in life including losing a sibling to suicide, but yet this has completely wrecked me.
I have been working this program for almost 4 months now. Things improved right away. I didn't go right back to sleeping every night, but there was hope. I am going through a speed bump after sleeping great for almost 2 weeks. See the problem, I was keeping track. I just needed to hear a success story and this has calmed me as the anxiety was getting the best of me lately. The crazy thing is I have slept in some way, shape or form this whole 4 months, but my brain wants more. I can't just be glad things have improved, now they need to be perfect. How silly!
To anyone who sees this, you can do hard things! Things get better, but it is so gradual. And yes it is a blessing in disguise.
This sounds like a story of my life (elder millennial + type A + insomnia). I’m on the journey of recovery but now experiencing speedbumps. I find the part where you talked about the willingness to accept the return of insomnia very useful (I think you use the term “exposure”). I’m going through that rough patch right now and as a type A person, your brain frames this as a failure. I like how you think of this as an opportunity to reinforce a new thinking/framing, that is a natural process of recovery.
Thanks so much for sharing your insights and stories.
I don't know what it is with me but hearing that she had hypnic jerks aswell is so SO reassuring. It feels like hypnic jerks are this really bad thing that no one had on this channel except a few people but it's not true... It's about the way people see it. I have health anxiety and to me not sleeping is not nearly as scary as the symptom itself. And the fact that Michelle AND Saniya got through this means I can too and that I am fine. Thank you for everything.
@saniya warwaruk I appreciate the time you spent describing how the recovery process is fraught with doubt, bad nights, and worry. I've thought that since I'm experiencing the same that I would not recover because recovery is dependent on being able to let go, which I'm having a very difficult time doing. Your story boosts my faith that while it may take a long time, it still is possible.
Hi Ryan, just wondering if how are you doing now?
@@melissasanpablo3493 I'm actually doing much better now. I don't have perfect sleep, but I'm not afraid of poor sleep like I was. I do still think about it from time to time, but I no longer obsess about it. I wasn't really able to convince myself that poor sleep isn't unhealthy, but I did resign myself to the fact that I can't control it. Maybe I should reach out to Coach Daniel and see if he would be interested in having me join him on Talking Insomnia. Hope you're finding help and reassurance in this channel.
Thanks Saniya for sharing your story! Your energy is amazing and is giving me some hope. I'm out of the rabbit hole/sandstorm but more in the yo yo phase now. It can be hard to stay positive after those yo yo sleepless nights but hearing your experience is helping me!
I love listening to Saniya so much! She glows with such good energy!
Wasn’t this an amazing episode. I binged it!!
What a lovely lady. Thanks for sharing.
Saniya is amazing!!
Hahaaa I was for sure that guy talking about Daniel on Reddit. I’m so happy that all my spamming might have led to someone finding help ! Ahhhhhh amazing
Nice job sir. Mad respect for being the light you wish to see! Put your hands above your head in the victory posture and proclaim you are the greatest! :)
If that's the case then THANK YOU SO MUCH! You inspired me to do the same :) There is so much bad advice and many lost souls in that sub reddit, it hurts to see.
@@saniyawarwaruk9746 so much. It hurts to see so many people stuck in a loop of horrible thinking. Believe me I tried to infiltrate every negative thread I could find and imbue it with hope. I know firsthand what it’s like to be stuck in that very very dark place. I’m glad People like Daniel exist on this earth. Truly. Any other period in time and it would’ve consumed me and plenty other people for the rest of their lives.
Well not to brag, guys, but I am banned from Reddit for similar spamming with links to Daniel's videos. Yep, a 45-day ban. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@kristaquin nice. It’s funny bc a lot of ppl started giving me hate for spamming Daniel’s channel. Telling me things like stop spreading lies and false hope and snake oil. Some ppl even commented on my comments by saying “oh you’re just telling ppl to not do anything. GREAT advice. Might as well tell them to die..” it can definitely be a rough crowd. I suspect a lot of those people really are addicted to that mindset in a way
I wish I could meet Saniya and talk to her, she reminds me of me when I get older!😩
Thank you so much for sharing this story Saniya and honestly this Chanel has really saved me from dark moments of my relapse. I used to think that I was broken when I first had my insomnia 4 years ago and all the doctors I visited was saying that they do not know what was the problem with me. After thankfully recovered fully for happy 3 years, the insomnia suddenly came back very very unexpectedly and I found myself being helpless again...These success stories are truly amazing
So glad you found your way here, and thanks for the support 🙏 No doubt your willingness to learn will lead back to peaceful sleep
This is cause Saniya is a G! You made it to a talking ep!!! So happy for you dude. I see you up there ahead of me (barely) but i see you lol. Im tryin to follow 👊
I have complete faith that you are going to get there soon. Hang in there - I'm so proud of how far you've come already!
Hi @saniyawarwaruk9746 just wondering what help did u get from Daniels channel and did u find Zoloft helped you at all?? My doctor has put me on these but I feel so sick on them plus sleepless nights makes it much worse! Your story has given me hope but I am still so scared 😟
It's so refreshing to hear some similarities to my experience at the moment, and comforting to know we can get through it.
So glad to read this Andrew 🙂
You absolutely will. I know it. And it'll happen before you realize it too (I know that seems unlikely but improvements snowball!)
@@saniyawarwaruk9746 Thank you, such a reassurance just hearing that. 😊
So happy to have found this, thank you. I've slept like a baby since reading Daniel's book about a month ago, and now I can't sleep again tonight! So these speed bumps are normal??
Hi Jules, so am I! We have an entire playlist on speed bumps, that’s how normal and common they are, that playlist can help!
Solid gold! I resonate with so much here. Thank you, Saniya, for sharing your story. It's so true that you come out of this slowly but surely. Your world truly starts to have more color and more moments of joy. Keep going towards your life and away from the efforts, and you will get there. And be kind to yourself when you find your brain trying to figure out how long you slept, etc. Think of the long game. Much love & peace to you all.
Appreciate the well wishes so much. I think this whole experience was such a lesson in self love!
@BeanieZ Love this!! :)
Just starting to see those first splashes of color now. Wish me luck! 🍀

It was gone, now it's back, I thought it wasn't normal. Here I am, laughing at myself.
Hi Daniel or Michelle
First off, awesome interview Saniya.
Is there a way to see Michelle's schedule for 1:1 bookings?
Hi Trev!
Thanks so much for the encouragement 🙂
You know, I realize we should have this on the website. Will get this done. In the meantime, I’ll just share that she has two slots on Mondays, 9 and 11 am pacific time. She has one slot Wednesdays at 1 pm pacific and finally Friday 9 am also pacific time.
I should have said all was in pacific time from the start 🤦🏽😉
Hope this helps for now and thanks for asking, now I can improve the website!
Can you please tell me whats called the book from Daniel that helped you? Thank you!
Hi Petra! I read "Set it & Forget It" and "This is Natto" probably 3 times each! I think they are both crucial in recovery and helped me so much.
@@saniyawarwaruk9746 thank you! I will order them🤗
Hey I want to ask saniya ,because I think se answerd me in another video how she was with gym!! If she was scared ,if she could performance, if she felt that can't go to the gym ,it could really helped me ❤
Yeh I wanted to ask this too I’m worried about if I’ll be able to lose weight/fat I’ve put on my stomach if I keep on having insomnia ! 🥲
saniya- this is fantastic. I feel that my anxiety and thoughts are improving but it’s been weeks and no change in my sleep. did it take a while for your sleep to improve? thank you!!
Hi Jen - so sorry for the late reply. I trust by now things will have improved for you. To anyone reading this now - it takes a long time. I say this not to scare you but so that you have a realistic understanding of what to expect. If you'd like to expedite your healing, stop thinking about it and pay it as little attention as you possibly can. That you know it's been weeks and no change tells me that (at this point!) you were monitoring. And this is normal, and human so don't beat yourself up for it - instead, work towards filling your moments with anything but thoughts and concerns over your sleep. It will come.
I love Saniya’s concept of a dedicated, scheduled Worry Hour…! 👍
@@saniyawarwaruk9746 hi Saniya. Thanks for your story and glad you recovered! Did you still manage to lose weight even though you had insomnia? I am trying to lose some weight and fat I’ve put on but I’m really worried that because I’m only sleeping 3 hours every night I won’t be able to lose the weight. This performance anxiety really prevents me from sleeping :(
Do i have to enjoy being awake. Thats the bit i dont get. I hate being awake all night snd it causes me such anxiety. Do I just have to expose myself to it without escaping it. I need some hope

Hello,
I’ve been experiencing depression since late last year and the insomnia followed ever since. I’ve dealt with depression in the past but never had insomnia. I feel very hopeless. Are all these videos for people who aren’t depressed to begin with?
-John
