    Neseret’s experience with insomnia began when she tried tapering off an antidepressant she had been taking for 13 years. Every time she tried to get off the medication she found herself unable to sleep.
    Although a move from shift work to regular daytime hours and being more active during the day helped to improve Neseret’s energy levels, she still couldn’t make the final leap to being medication free because she was petrified of going without sleep.
    Finding Insomnia Coach and the stories shared on the podcast gave Neseret a newfound confidence that she could taper off the medication. She had hope.
    Neseret began a supervised medical taper while practicing new skills and habits that helped her move away from struggling with sleep and all the difficult thoughts and feelings that often come with insomnia.
    She stopped putting pressure on herself to generate a certain amount of sleep. Whenever she found herself struggling during the night, she would engage in another activity so she had an alternative to struggle. She stopped trying to control sleep.
    Neseret’s journey was not easy. There were ups and downs. There were setbacks. And yet, today, she is off the medication and sleep is no longer a problem or an obstacle to her ability to live the life she wants to live.

    Martin, they say insomnia and lack of sleep releases inflammation? If so , is it something that is harmful in the short term?
    Also, does drinking a glass of wine impact sleep?

    Have you done any videos on parasomnias? Exploding head syndrome, hypnic jerks, awareness, hypnogogic hallucination. All of mine are when drifting to sleep. It caused me so much fear that I've developed bad sleep anxiety as I dont know what i may experience or if itll let me fall asleep 😔 if there are any stories/interviews or videos youve done I'd love to see them.

      Parasomnias aren't my area of expertise, unfortunately. With that being said, I do have a video on hypnic jerks: ruclips.net/video/KFlxiXbYQag/видео.html

      It depends on the individual - it can be a helpful way to move away from chasing after sleep, which is often part of the insomnia struggle.

      What matters is how you respond - and your experience can be a great guide when it comes to figuring out a workable way to respond.
