I am so glad I found this channel, what you said matches my experience 1 to 1. You definitely know what you're talking about.
I'm going to watch these videos religiously and hopefully I will have better sleep habits

I don't go to sleep directly after going to bed, I dream, sometimes lucid dream even upto long hours, I'm a college student, I sometimes have to stay awake late and wake early, I do exercise in morning and get good sunlight, has a very good diet, but still can't go to sleep.. And sometimes in easy comfortable on bed and some times I have anxiety but in both cases I can't sleep, my friends have same schedule as me, infact they have very poor diet compared to me, but still they sleep

My condition is different. I couldn't sleep during the nights but refused to take a nap during the days. I still wasn't able to sleep. I couldn't stand it no more, then on the 4th day I took a short nap. As a result, I was able to sleep couple hours that night. I really don't know why.

I experience sleep disturbances, at night I feel restless and want to look at pornographic content. I avoid it because it is unconscious brain and mental damage. what should I do in the morning so that I can stay comfortable at night, I feel tired when I wake up because of poor sleep time

[jennifertiitinen]

Being exhausted and can’t fall asleep is so frustrating

[cgore]

Sleep Coach on Youtube says it's the fear of wakefulness in the flight/fight area of the brain.

I’m out doing crossword puzzles and French courses online. But I can’t find anything to help me

[jennifertiitinen]

I’m literally so tired but my mind won’t let me go to sleep. I’m so tired and exhausted but can’t sleep 😊

Hi! I suffer for insomnia for years. I experienced a lot of trauma and anxiety. I tried everything. Diet, exercises, supplements. I work with trauma specialist at this moment and she suggested like you said in the first part of this video I have to retrain my body again to get int the habit of sleep. She suggested to get sleeping tablets but just for 3 weeks max to help me to learn sleep habit again. Do you have any suggestions what else could help me in this case? I didnt start taking any sleeping tablets yet and I would rather not to. Regards, Aneta

Do u have any tips for somebody who has no problem falling asleep but I would wake up after 6hours or less and I feel like crap, I'm barely awake I'm tired and can 'fall back asleep' but not actually sleeping just losing consciousness and it's like fake sleep if that make any sense

[EstevanPerez-fj]

Sunday I slept like a baby Monday night came and haven’t slept since I don’t feel sleepy all night but oh once it’s time to head to work in the AM that’s when I feel sleepy

[jennifertiitinen]

I put on meditation and tv mono tone shows but nothing helps

[Silverqueen]

Yup I went to bed early and ended up being up till 3 am and up at 8 and I’m exhausted not good sleep

[jennifertiitinen]

I wish I could just sleep at any time. It’s so exhausting

[jennifertiitinen]

I hate this. I’m exhausted and tired but yet I’ll fall asleep for an hour but I wake up. I’m super tired

I’ve had insomnia since I was 10 years old, now 60 I may get 3 nights of sleep that is less than 4 hours a night. I retired early because I can’t get a good nights rest. I’ve tried SleepyTime tea that helps but not every night, I’ve tried Melatonin it works for a couple of nights then stop.
