Cured my long term insomnia

I have tried everything imaginable to cure my insomnia and was very skeptic that this book and it’s general premise of simply changing how I think about my problem could ‘cure’ me. I combined listening to it with the Sleep School App and I’m only a week into the 30 day course and I am absolutely gob smacked - after a couple of years of being unable to sleep without medication and other props I am sleeping totally normally. It feels like a miracle!

Brilliant book for insomniacs.

A great collection of tools and resources that will heal your chronic insomnia that I've never seen anywhere else.

Start with this book. Then join the Sleep School.

Acceptance and Commitment is working for me. I love the Sleep School meditations that accompany the app. Dr. Meadows voice will put you in a trance.
The app requires you to join the Sleep School for one year and costs about $40. Well worth it to me!

Beware!

This book made my insomnia worse! I used to not panic when I couldn't sleep. I would leave the room, do a thing or two, come back. The book however insistently recommends not leaving the bed, and staying awake as long as it takes. That's sick! Now, I feel more anxious both if I leave the room and if I stay.

Good book

The overall message is a good one: behave like a normal sleeper and break out from your before-bed routines. For me not doing anything therefore became the goal. So I have a few mixed feelings about this. Some activities are relaxing and prepare your brain to relax, creating a reflex. Also, check with your neurologist if your insomnia is in any way related to your body/nervous system, rather the uncontrollable thoughts at night. For me, it turned out I do not have a proper positioning of the spine - which in turn affects my blood flow to the brain and my ability to fully relax before sleep.
