How long does insomnia recovery really take – and why does it feel like everyone else is recovering faster? In this conversation, Daniel Erichsen from The Sleep Coach School and I talk about some of the trickiest recovery concerns:

- Why do others' recoveries look easier and shorter than mine?
- Can my insomnia be entirely "special"?
- Why do I keep coming back for support?
- Will my speed bumps ever end?

This conversation is especially for those who've been in recovery for a few years and have started to wonder if they're the exception. (Spoiler: you're not ❤️)

This is a special episode on chronic fatigue and the fear of feeling tired with Daniel, who went through both chronic fatigue and insomnia for over 30 years and finally found freedom, energy, and a new mission in life. If you’ve been dealing with sleep anxiety and persistent fatigue, this episode is for you. ❤️ Enjoy!

We asked folks to send us recovery questions and we answered them! In this conversation, Coach Michelle Weil and I are diving deeper into the nuances of recovery:
👉 Rebuilding trust with our mind and body after feeling betrayed by insomnia
👉 Understanding how education can become a sleep effort and the importance of changing the relationship with sleep efforts.
👉 Processing feelings of loneliness, envy, and sadness during recovery.
👉 Facing triggers and building resilience to strengthen recovery.
Enjoy!

Our brain links certain dates or events to our sleep patterns, making us hyperaware and anxious around that time. In this video we talk about the topic brought up by one of the viewers – a speed bump that happened around the anniversary of their insomnia beginning. We're going to explore the reason why it happens and most importantly, how to move through them. Enjoy!

Setbacks (or speedbumps) are a normal part of overcoming insomnia and sleep anxiety. But when we are going through one, it can feel disorienting and scary. In this video, I share my experiences of speedbumps – in hopes to show that what you are going through might not be as strange as it may feel. And most importantly – to give hope that there's the light at the end of the tunnel!

Have you even tried to "sit with your anxiety" only to find yourself even more stuck in it? Have you ever wondered what it really means - to “sit with anxiety”?

In this episode, I share my journey of struggling with this idea, the shift that helped, and two simple analogies that can make acceptance a bit more natural. If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated trying to “do it right,” this talk may bring you clarity. I hope you'll enjoy it!

When we deal with chronic insomnia we often don't trust the our body can sleep on its own. That create a bunch on unhelpful behaviors and thinking patterns that fuel the problem. In this episode we discuss how to bring that trust back. Enjoy!

When we talk about insomnia recovery – do we really know what that is? How to tell whether we are "there" or not? What are the things that might be slowing the process down? Michelle and I talk in detail about our experiences with insomnia recovery and how it turned out to be not what we both originally imagined.
