As someone who has experienced the vicious cycle of insomnia, I know one thing for sure: insomnia sucks.
What starts as a few rough nights turns into constant thinking about sleep – trying to fix it, manage it, outsmart it.
Before we know it, sleep becomes the center of everything… and still, it slips further away.
What is insomnia, really?
When I talk about insomnia, I mean more than just not sleeping.
It’s the anxiety. The fear of being awake.
That unease that creeps in as bedtime gets closer.
It’s not just about sleep itself — it’s about how we relate to it.
And that relationship — the thoughts, the fears, the habits — often keeps the cycle going.
But here’s the good news: insomnia is a pattern.
And patterns can be unlearned.
Freedom from sleep anxiety isn’t just possible – it’s real. It starts by doing things differently.
It’s about changing our relationship with sleep, wakefulness, and ourselves.
Recovery isn’t a quick fix, and it’s not always smooth – but it’s absolutely worth it.
Because when sleep is no longer something we chase or control, it starts to come back on its own.
And with it, a sense of ease you may not have felt in a long time.
What recovery can feel like
- Sleep just happens on its own – without effort.
- It’s not perfect every night (no one’s is!), but you feel peace and trust.
- Your body starts to feel like something you can trust again.
- Sleep is no longer the center of your life – you barely think about it.
- You stop managing sleep like a project – and start living again.
- A rough night doesn’t ruin your day.
- A good night isn’t something you cling to or fear losing.
If any of this hit home, you’re not alone. This resource was made to help people get from the place of fear to the place of freedom.
