How we understand Insomnia today
Worry about not sleeping pairs with the experience of lying awake, unhooking the brain's sleep brake. The harder you chase sleep, the further it recedes.
Ways people approach it
- A fixed wake time every day is the strongest anchor for when sleepiness arrives
- Reducing awake-in-bed time (getting in only when sleepy) works paradoxically well
- A lukewarm bath 90 minutes before bed, then no bright light or feeds, helps
- Sleep records reveal 'nights I actually slept', stopping the worry spiral
If loud snoring and breathing pauses have been pointed out, get tested for sleep apnea first.
