You Can Sleep Too!
If you have a drive to sleep and you are not hyper-aroused, you will sleep. No exceptions. Understanding sleep drive and hyper-arousal is the key to transforming your sleep. In this book, you'll master both!
Insomniacs never feel sleepy, Why?
Fixed bedtimes fuel insomnia
It doesn't matter what triggered it
Insomnia and sleep deprivation are not the same
8 hours of sleep is a myth
Spending longer in bed makes it worse
Warm baths, kiwi fruit, cherries, sleep hygiene... Not exercising late, not eating late, not drinking any alcohol... Having 1001 things you must do, and 1001 you must not do, just causes more anxiety and obsession around sleep. You don't need to do everything perfectly. Normal sleepers don't, and they still sleep!
But you do need to know about the sleep drive, and how hyper-arousal can mask it. You need to be shown what behavioural and thought pattern changes you need to do to sleep again. And you need to learn about:
Stimulus control
The buffer zone
Active and avoidance sleep efforts
The timeless night
Sleep windows
And knees poking out in front of an underwhelmed maid...
Learn this. And you will relearn how to sleep.
I did.
