How Emily transformed her sleep by accepting insomnia and committing to meaningful daily actions (#60)

  • Summary

  • Emily's insomnia began four months after her baby was born. She struggled to fall asleep and this led to anxiety and exhaustion. Medication didn't help and her anxiety worsened, leading to panic at bedtime. Emily's transformation started when she changed her approach. She spent less time in bed, engaged in pleasant activities when awake at night, and stopped calculating her nightly sleep duration. She accepted her anxiety and insomnia, allowing them to exist without fighting them. Emily committed to meaningful daily actions, even when tired. By surrendering to whatever happened each night, she freed herself from the pressure of trying to control her sleep. By not trying to control her sleep, it was better able to take care of itself. Emily now goes to bed around 11 PM and wakes naturally around 7 AM — and her focus is on living the life she wants to live. Watch/listen to this episode
