I honestly feel like my struggle is coming to an end but at the same time it’s not. Im not worried if I have a bad night anymore, my mood will be affected, but I’ve learned to still enjoy my day. I give myself enough time in bed to rest, not sleep, just rest. If sleep comes ok. But I’m still having these rough nights. It’s not even anxiety anymore, it’s just frustrating and annoying.
I hear you man, its the same for me, I was doing really good for a few months and then the past couple of weeks have been quite rough, sometimes I am not even anxious and it still happens, it gets annoying but I also feel that I will overcome it
Hang in there Nathan, you’ll find your way
I could’ve written the same exact thing. I feel like a lot of it comes from a subconscious fear. I’m not afraid of losing sleep, or being tired at least on a conscious level, but there’s still some fear buried under the surface. I’m just trusting that in time it will go away as I continue to learn.

Is this the infamous, ever so famous on the channel, John Monk??
@@johnmonk3381 aww okay 😆
John , would you attribute the tinnitus due to stress from lack of sleep .... how are you feeling right now in your managing this tough situation....
Hello Daniel
Hope all is well🙏
Just a question if you can advice me.
I use earphones at night. I put on some quite music just to relax and block external sound disruptions (it is NOT a sleep effort for sure).
Yesterday they said on the TV that Airpods may lead to hearing loss especially if used more than 60 min per day..
It stressed me out. And begun thinking if my use of earphones can damage my hearing over time.
And I cannot stop using them to sleep. They protect me from sounds at night (especially that I live in a noisy neighbouhood).
What are your thoughts on that?
Thank you always
Hi Peace,
You know, I think we hear so many scary things that have no backing in reality… also, I think it’s so natural to protect ourselves but… sometimes our effort to do so can keep us from seeing that there’s no real danger…
Have you experienced like you have this increased of acid because of insomnia and loose some appetites ?
what îs the name of the sleep app that you are talking about în this video?
BedTyme
Hey Daniel, sometimes I slept 7 hours and next day I slept 1 hour. It is happens when i quit alcohol which i used to take as sleep aid. I am trying to follow your book. Is it normal?
Hi and welcome,
We call this a pendulum pattern and it’s very common. We can learn from each night, sleep more and we say “that’s because I wasn’t trying” sleep less and we say “that’s simply because there was some more effort” each time reinforces the path to peace
John .. you mentioned you had tinnitus & hyperacusis back when you were struggling with insomnia,
Can you tell us what the status of that is now?
~ I ask because I too have tinnitus & hyperacusis - which sometimes feels like it is 'the thing' that is keeping me from sleeping - due to the shrillness and/or volume.
Hello, both are much much improved. I know how scary and painful sounds can be when experiencing hyperacusis. Everyday sounds are so imposing. I’m much better! Once my nervous system settled down things improved. Try not to (hard I know) react to both as this certainly doesn’t help matters. Things will tone down for you. They did for me and I never thought they would. Hang in there.
@@johnpizanis591 John .. Thank you so much for your kind and reassuring words.
I do indeed have a hyper-sensitive nervous system (ME/CFS here) and I work daily to calm it down via Mind/Body practices for TMS, as well as -TRE and mindfulness meditation.
Your improvement on the hyperacusis / tinnitus front gives me hope.

Hi Daniel,
I have insomnia for about 11 months. I honestly feel like I lost the ability to sleep on my own. I tried almost all the sleeping medications prescribed but none of them worked if it worked I will sleep for 2-3 hours per night.
I am very interested in your program as my insomnia consumed me and I want to live the life the I used to have.
Hi LG,
Sorry to hear about the struggle but I’m so glad you’re here. Learn, find some courage, be kind to yourself and you’ll find what you’ve been missing
Can I pls know what app he is talking about ?
It’s BedTyme.. but you know, it’s the same material as here and as in our Immunity program, whatever you think is your way helps
Hey Daniel, you know my body is surprising me! I have maintenance insomnia..
Sometimes it's so much struggle to get even 5 hours of sleep straight, but these days I'm easily able to get almost 7 hrs!!! I feel so good that I don't have to force!
But, once the pattern breaks, maintenance insomnia returns again!!! ☹️ can u give ur thoughts pls 🙏????
@@johnmonk3381 I don't know for others but when I have one bad night , it tends to repeat for couple of days.. Nd when I can finally sleep like 6.5 or 7 hrs.. These good nights will continue for days until it breaks nd the cycle goes on!
@@johnmonk3381 I don't know if I can completely get rid of those bad nights.. 😤
Hi Akash, I think it really is our fear that returns, insomnia is just a way we experience fear. When we no longer are afraid, then there’s no insomnia. Check the speed bump playlist as well!
@@johnmonk3381 would love to hear your success story, why you not be a sleep coach?
@@johnmonk3381 awesome and very cool. Would learn more about your thoughts and your way out of it. I saw old comments from you where also was clear that the fear and anxiety was with you. So glad to see that someone could pass this without BedTyme and Immunityprogram. Can I contact you for some good advice?
Hey Daniel I was sleeping pretty well for two weeks and then I jumped into a speed bump now I'm sleeping with wakefulness and a day followed by headache, the thing is I'm worried about the headache part as it makes my day less enjoyable which give rise to sleep anxiety that the headache is because I'm not sleeping well. Any tips on how to deal with this situation.
Hello Namrah..here I am again.
I will say just don't think about bad night get on with your daily schedule..just give 0 attention to bad nights. Have some kind of aerobic exercise (to level down the stress hormones) Go out & enjoy with friends. Have a very good social life. I used to run 5 km daily before insomnia & for 2 months I stopped running bcos of insomnia. After getting hypersleep & some amount of deep sleep I started it again. Started enjoying life again. I am not sleeping so well bt now I am getting 5 6hrs of deep sleep with hypersleep.
@@rahulpardeshi6646 I'm also having 5 to 6 hours of sleep every night and on some nights I get the hyper sleep, the headache is due to the over thinking. Thank you for sharing your experience, I will work on befriending wakefulness and enjoying life no matter what amount of sleep I get 💙
@@namrahshah3256 yes I think if we stop trying to make sleep perfect & don't stress about the bad nights then only hyperarousal will melt down & sleep related anxiety will go for lifetime 😊
@@rahulpardeshi6646 yeah the daytime symptoms make me stressed out sometimes only, anyways we have a long journey to learn and to train our brain that we are not in any danger. In the end we'll be fine
Love this conversation you guys 😊 And anything that comes from the struggle, if it’s a headache for example, I think the same teachings apply.. acknowledge that it’s not pleasant but also that the more attention towards problem solving… the more we are in the struggle. Thanks for this nice conversation!
