Insomniacs are not people who have any impairment (not regarding sleep anyway) but people who impair their natural ability to sleep by constantly struggling to get some sleep. Because they're not in search of a solution to a 'problem'. They don't call themselves insomniacs, and they're not. Some people (I have a friend) who sleep only 4 hours per night and they are perfectly happy. Insomniacs are people who are bothered by their failure to sleep well and they are constantly in search of a solution for their insomnia, not other clear underlying health problem.įor these people the only solution is to stop their struggle, accept their current situation, and move on with their lives. They know exactly why they can't sleep well and the reason is not insomnia. Why do you think you can't sleep well? There are people who are in pain, or have some kind of serious illness, and that's why they can't sleep well. My intention from writing here is to let others know the way I cured my own insomnia, so that maybe I can help. There are real issues in life and it's not worth wasting precious time and energy with a stupid and senseless obsession. Over time things will improve but perseverance, commitment, is needed. Stay in bed until the morning WITHOUT the intention to sleep but rather with the intention to rest. And go to bed like normal people, or like the time you used to, before becoming an insomniac. Live your life to the fullest though it may not be very easy. The solution is this: don't do ANYTHING, ANYTHING at all, either for sleeping or because you don't sleep well. The day an insomniac starts to let go of the struggle and go to bed without the never-ending ATTEMPT to sleep, the healing process starts. They have an obsession about sleeping and this obsession is keeping them awake. Insomniacs don't have any issue with sleeping. It's not something that can be ordered, forced, begged, controlled etc. Why keep on forcing something which is not meant to be forced? Sleep is not meant to be voluntary. The wasteful and dreadful struggle needs to end at some point. Hi Sam84095, I know exactly what you mean. You just need to trust your body and mind for it and stop trying to do anything whatsoever for it. Accept your reality and move on to the things in life you can control over. So why keep on trying/desiring? Just let it go. Just rest! If sleep comes that's OK, if it doesn't that's OK too, you haven't been very successful in getting the amount and quality of sleep you have desired anyway - that's why you call yourself an insomniac. Don't TRY to sleep, as you are used to do. When sleep time comes just go to bed, close your eyes, and rest. You just need to stop doing all the things you are doing FOR sleeping and let your body and mind do whatever they want - if you sleep it's OK but if you don't, that's OK too (everybody has bad sleep for all kinds of reasons once in a while). Insomnia in us humans appears when we TRY (and therefore struggle) to sleep. The ability to sleep is so strong among us, humans or animals in general, that it is almost impossible to seriously alter it. But the improvement was real from the start. The moment I stopped struggling against insomnia it simply started going away, though not suddenly. My sleep is not perfect every single night, but nobody's is. The ones which exist are worthless if you ask me. The fact of the matter is that medical science dies not yet provide pills for brains. I tried all possible pills, relaxation techniques, hypnosis, everything, none worked properly in the long term. I used to have horrible insomnia, only 2 hours of sleep per night without pills while I need 8.
