Colleen has noted that whenever she has a stretch of sleeping better, she invariably goes back to sleeping little again.

In this episode we talk about Success Regress - when the doubt of whether sustained good sleep is too good to be true becomes self fulfilling.

Would you like to work with me? Awesome! I would love a chance to help you sleep fantastic. There are two ways we can work together:

The self coaching program is perfect if you like learning through video and also if have mental wellness goals be...

Anass is trying Magnesium which hasn’t helped. Mr. Peace wonders if not seeing progress 6 weeks into CBTi is a bad sign. Shruti wonders what to do before going to bed as for it not to be a boring time.

After stress at work and caring for a new puppy triggers a panic attack, the first one to happen at night, Sal starts sleeping very little. Sometimes not a all. He googles his symptoms and worries that he has developed fatal insomnia and wonders what to do and what's going on.

If you want to understand how insomnia happens and how to get back to a place of sleeping well in under 10 minutes, watch this video!

If you have a tendency to worry, and those worries get in the way of you making the decisions that are best for you, this episode is for you. You will find five examples here of how to find a what if that is bigger than the what if that is standing in your way, leading you to make the choices that get you the results you desire.

Karan changes perception and sleep starts happening. Pilar has an epiphany after watching this channel for months. Audrey wonders if you can get past chronic insomnia if you also have ocd? Matt has Hypnic jerks after a radical diet change and coming off a bad drinking habit. All the women in Shannon’s family have insomnia. But now she’s not even sleeping with medications. She’s worried she has SFi. Fernando and John are also worried about this rare condition that is not actually an insomnia.

Luke asks about ACT and CBT. When is the former a good option and how has our thinking about ACT developed? Ricardo is on his second week of spending less time in bed. So far it’s been a bumpy ride and he wonders if sleeping from 8 on to 1 am would be better as this has been refreshing in the past.

Tash implemented a sleep window and other CBTi measures nearly a year ago. She saw some improvement in her sleep in the first months but has been stuck since then getting little sleep and feeling very tired. What’s going on and where should she go next?

These phenomena often seem bizarre and strange and lead you to think something must be wrong. In this video we talk about the culprit - hyperarousal. We discuss what hyperarousal is and how to have less of these experiences.

Predicting the weather is possible because whether it rains or not is not affected by your forecast. How you will sleep tonight or in three weeks is a very different story.

The only forecasting you should do is answer these two questions: Do you want to sleep better? Are you willing to do some work?
