Ask Daniel #14: You Have to be Willing to Have Insomnia

Psychologist and writer Nick Wignall co-hosts the channel to help answer questions about insomnia and mental wellness.

Alex wonders if what LInda said, that when not doing anything about a sudden awareness of falling you're allowing the biological function of sleep to . happen, is true. Adrien is at his wits end, feeling that things are hopeless. Gabriel is no longer worried that he has sfi, but looks for a way to prevent insomnia after two break ups. Avery has tried many medications and is thinking about having a sleep study.
