2026/01/29

When I had insomnia, I couldn’t figure out why anything having to do with sleep felt so GIGANTIC in my mind. Every nuance, every sensation, every night felt more critical than the last. It was very life-or-death to me. What I didn’t realize at the time was: There was a perfectly logical reason for this. My brain wasn’t malfunctioning. It was doing exactly what brains are designed to do. It was filtering IN what mattered most. And filtering OUT what didn't. Who knew? And because not s...

In this deeply relatable episode, Carlos shares his honest journey through insomnia. After years of overthinking and long sleep onset, a period of intense work stress pushed his nervous system into full-blown survival mode, and not sleeping became something his brain perceived as a threat.

2025/12/04

Emily’s insomnia started with a single sleepless night. She’d stayed up late before, but always on purpose. This time, the choice wasn't hers. And that loss of control left her feeling scared, confused, and convinced something inside her must be broken. What followed next was a cycle she didn’t understand: long nights, constant clock-watching, dread as the sun went down, and days shaped entirely around preventing another bad night. She turned to movement, routines, and eventually medication,...

2025/10/23

Beth spent 42 years chasing sleep. Until one day, she realized the very effort to “fix” insomnia was the exact thing keeping her stuck. What followed wasn’t another hack, routine, or bedtime ritual.

2025/10/09

In this episode, I explore what I consider the single most powerful tool for overcoming insomnia — your response. When it comes to long-term recovery, it’s not about finding a magic sleep trick or trying harder to force sleep. It’s about how you respond to the experience of insomnia itself. We’ll look at what happens when the brain’s hyperarousal system misinterprets sleeplessness as danger and how to shift that conditioned response back toward safety. You’ll learn how cultivating awareness,...
