    this worked for me as well, before I would get out of bed and pace or journal or go look at myself in the mirror at most I would go take a pee and get back in bed no watching youtube videos no journaling or getting up to walk around to clean my room just lay there and I would get micro sleeps versus no sleep and gradually the sleep got better … and thought the same eventually if I sleep I sleep if I don’t oh well I’m so grateful to have a work from home job .. it lessens the anxiety A LITTLE BIT. I also take blood pressure meds that I tell myself make me more sleepy during the day and make the anxiety worse I just keep telling myself .. it’s temporary you’ve been here before and you’ve gotten over it before dont trip . sending everyone so much love ❤️ I’m here if anyone ever wants to talk

    Hey Shaan, thank you for all your good content here on YT. In this video you say it's better to stay in bed and alllow all your symptoms. In a newer video you said it's better to get out of bed, if you can't sleep. Have you a tip or more info's about that point? Thank you so much!

    When i try to sleep of just lay down closing my eyes and let the sleep come or any thoughts come my heart pounds little bit hard or skip a beat (am not able to differentiate it) and my mind goes in alert mode makes my body jerk and wakes me up and it continues for as long as i stay in bed. I went to doctor a psychiatrist and they gave me pill i started taking that but i don't want to get dependent on it. So what should i do in that case.

      Weirdly enough as a chronic insomniac I’d kill for this. Id love to have some sort of sleep and wake up every couple of hours, isn’t it strange how we all long for something, and the facts are if we stopped we’d just be fine? 😂

      Also by the way I think you aren’t understanding the video properly, you can apply the “if I sleep I sleep, If I don’t I don’t, to your situation too… just change the words… “if I get back to sleep I do, if I don’t get back to sleep, I don’t”… ?

      @@BrendaHall1 hi Brenda, like the sleep school coach channel and Daniel Ericsson’s book details… they don’t ‘go away’ … you shouldn’t say this to someone as a response although i assume you meant well, it’s not functional or true advice. The fact is, anxiety occurs in life, for everyone, for different reasons… people with insomnia (like me) will have speed bumps, and to deny this is cruel and false. Please get off this comment section unless you’re going to think more about what you post. I’ve read about 15 posts on this video alone that are literally so damaging and untrue, just stop!

      One thing I’ve realised is, you know the nights when you’ve been up that long that you physically crash, that’s because your brain has been pushed so far, that it can not care anymore about the worries of sleeplessness… I’ve been trying really hard to remind myself of that, and that I literally can fix this by remembering to let go of the worries of how bad I’ll feel, how miserable it is etc… just like the brain eventually does whether we like it or not. Hope this helps, Eleanor, a chronic insomniac.

    I can always fall asleep, but cannot sleep past 2 hours. Then I get little 10 minute snaps til around 4 am, then awake from then on. The problem is, my anxiety is getting worse without sleeping. I even take klonazepam or Ambien, and still no success. It's brutal. I am totally caffeine free, no lights, don't know what wakes me.
