Former Insomniac by End Insomnia

Welcome to Former Insomniac with Ivo H.K., founder at End Insomnia. After suffering from insomnia for 5 brutal years and trying "everything" to fix it, I developed a new approach targeting the root cause of insomnia: sleep anxiety (or the fear of sleeplessness). In this podcast, I talk about the End Insomnia System and I share tips, learnings, and insights from overcoming insomnia and tell the stories of people who did so you can apply the principles to end insomnia for good, too.

The Paradox of Sleep Efforts: Finding Real Rest

Former Insomniac by End Insomnia ·

2023/12/02

When I had insomnia, I used to go to bed early, sleep in late to try to catch up, and also take long naps during the day.I also used to go to bed at a different time each night and wake up whenever I “felt like it”.While these “strategies” offer limited short-term relief, they all interfered with my body’s biological sleep drive and natural circadian rhythm.They ended up sabotaging my potential to sleep easily at night.Another way I was trying to take control of my sleep was through medications,

No, Your Insomnia is NOT Unique (I Know You Think It Is)

Former Insomniac by End Insomnia ·

2023/11/04

A good definition of insomnia is “high anxiety and reactivity regarding not sleeping, which in turn inhibits or interrupts normal sleep.”Although insomnia-related distress can be felt in the body, insomnia doesn’t start in the body, it starts in the mind.Insomnia is not a condition the way heart disease or cancer is a condition.This doesn’t mean you’re to blame or that the suffering isn’t real or difficult to bear, and it also does not mean that you’re broken.It just means there is a way out
