You are a beautiful woman Mira. I am so glad to hear you are doing better ❤ Our suffering realy does make us better people. I have such a strong desire now to help others. I am still in the struggle myself but seeing some glimpses of lighter days ahead. Thankyou for your story X
I’ve suffered from insomnia since I was 6 years old. Throughout my life I’ve always had a viciously antagonistic relationship with sleep. Around 37, things got kicked up a notch. I’m 40 now and can say with confidence the last few years have been the worst I’ve ever experienced with sleep. It’s been a long and complicated journey for sure. I have many of these same symptoms.
I wonder if your insomnia is genetic? I’ve had insomnia for decades but mostly only pops up in stressful times and usually doesn’t last longer than a few months at a time. I hope you find peace, sir!
Hi daniel thanks for all your helpfull efforts I have some questions : 1- I really want to know how to become immune in the future? 2- what's the meaning of immunity? (no speedbumps? Or no fear or.....) 3- is it possible to experience hard and long speedbumps after recovery? 4- And what are the mistakes that make the recovery journey longer ? Many thanks Daniel
Anytime 😊! 1. I think it’s about willingness to expose ourselves to what we have been afraid of 2. It means we may have speed bumps and some resurfacing of fear… but we won’t go back into an ongoing struggle 3. Yes it can happen, nothing strange or unusual, something to learn from 4. Self criticism Hope this helps!
Hi sir Daniel I am thankful to the Lord that he gave someone who canunderstand insomnia so much thank you for your teaching and concern to all of us having insomnia ...may Godbless you always....
GABA is a very important receptor of peace and calm and GABA amino acids must be abundant also. I know we must use our mind to rest and calm again but I do believe meds some meds can help also along side the therapy of learning to not fight and look for sleep. I just find it fascinating. It’s can’t be meds alone for sure. It will never “fix” the underlying issue but it does help to assist and teach the brain or make a habit of peace.
What medicine did Mira take for sleeping? I was precribed Remeron ,but it also made feel not good the next day..Wondering how come they don't mention medicine they try, it would help ..
Daniel Zopiclone was given to me I must say your videos are the long game - resetting the nervous system naturally there is a pattern with yours and many other insomnia patients an over active parasympathetic nervous system the inability to feel the calm this then moves to the bed time hours. Some experiencing intense anxiety at night covered up by “sleep anxiety” I slept in the last woth sleep anxiety and still fell asleep. PTSD is a big one. Trauma in the body and the nervous system fire alarm blown off. Zopiclone helped me reset this for one night felt an immense difference of peace next day like I didn’t realise how hyper and anxious I have been since my divorce and child custody battle. I wish there was a fast route to resetting and calming the nerves Ketamine is another therapeutic drug being used for ptsd. I do believe most of us need a rest to our nervous system. A switch goes off and never sets back in place.
Hi Sharan, So much truth here, and you know the irony is that the pursuit of the quicker way can keep us struggling for years, whereas the acceptance of how things are now can have us finding relief sooner than we thought possible.
This is me. I cannot afford any more checking. I got a virus, then started waking 1 and 4 with gas. Then go to bathroom at 5. Dr. Says it is anxiety. Tired at 9, restless all night. The medications are useless for me. The support group helps. Sick of the getting gas and being tired, 4 months since getting stupid virus
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience. Just a quick heads-up: we're hosting live Q&A sessions most weeks and we'd love for you to join us! It's a great chance to ask questions, share insights, and connect with others in the community.
Hi Daniel, I felt quite emotional listening to Miras story since I could relate to alot of it. I was wondering if during the recovery if it is normal for the brain to sort of obsess about random things that are not necessarily sleep related.?? Eg I somehow got this ridiculous idea in my head that I lost my ability to cry, and I am now obsessing about it and trying to force myself to feel intense emotion just to sort of test it out. This is obviously making things worse because when I feel the emotions well up and when I feel like I'm about to cry, hyperarousal kicks in. I am generally an emotional person and Crying allows me to process my feelings and move on. I feel like my brain is telling me "if you can't cry to let it all out then, you're gonna have all these bottled up emotions and you'll always have insomnia" I woke up at 3:30 am this morning and couldn't fall back asleep because I had this compulsion to just try and cry even if I didn't really want to. Quite frustrating!
Hi Leha, I’m so glad you could relate and yes - is very very normal that our brain, when it has been frazzled and thinks we have been in danger, that it “warns” about all kinds of things. “Don’t use those PJs, maybe you won’t sleep!” etc etc. When we no longer think this strange, that helps much because then we aren’t trying to manage our thoughts so we can sleep.
Mira story is similar to my story😅 I can’t wait to educate myself through your channels and your books I’m going to read soon after Claire Weekes book, I just know that I’m gonna be much more understanding and relatable to other people once all of this pass that happened to me same like what happened to Mira
Excuse me, i have a question. I watched in older videos that in the disease called SFI, the insomnia is a late symptom. Like, always other neuro symptoms comes first. But i did read in some websites that SPORADIC (not familial) fatal insomnia starts with progressive insomnia. So i dont know what to think.
@@thesleepcoachschool8192 I was referring to the videos on that playlist, I saw them a few months ago and they calmed me down a lot. You say in them that insomnia is a late symptom in SFI. And I've seen other doctors say that too. But there are also pages and people who say that SFI actually starts first with insomnia. So now I don't know what to think 😓
@@NoelLupusfangOfficialremember there are only a few cases around the whole world. It’s so rare! If you have insomnia because of anxiety your insomnia is not a disease, it’s anxiety and too much adrenalin
This sounds like the inability to tolerate uncertainty. My doctor tells me nothing is wrong, but i keep scanning for something.@@NoelLupusfangOfficial

It’s absolutely insane how the mind is so powerful that it can create real physical symptoms when anxious 😢
This is so true Amy, and at least when we know this, we go down fewer rabbit holes…
I’ve suffered from insomnia since I was 6 years old. Throughout my life I’ve always had a viciously antagonistic relationship with sleep. Around 37, things got kicked up a notch.

Hang in there Michael, I’m glad you’re here now and hope what we share will help.

What a lovely girl is Mira. Thank you ❤
The point about patience is well taken; I couldn't agree more.

It was so disheartening to see some tears in Mira's eyes when she talks abkut how her dad had to come back to pick her up. It moved me.

@@1timbarrettI never had any problems with food. Go watch hypnosis for ibs. I had a flare. It is anxiety not food.
