Talking Insomnia #45: Neil is free after a 20 year struggle

When Neil starts mandatory Israeli military service at age 18 he has a completely sleepless night. When this becomes a recurring issue, his superiors arrange night duty so that he gets more opportunity for sleep. With even more time to ruminate, obsess, toss and turn - a fear develops that lasts for years.

Although the memories remain, Neil is now free from a 2 decade long struggle. Understanding sleep, understanding how the mind works and practicing meditation has brought peace.
