When Neil starts mandatory Israeli military service at age 18 he has a completely sleepless night. When this becomes a recurring issue, his superiors arrange night duty so that he gets more opportunity for sleep.

Insomnia Insight #367: Make a BOLD (but not BIG) decision at night!

February 05, 2021 00:35 - 5 minutes - 7.56 MB

I remember once a long time ago not to make big decisions at night. It's one of those "grandpa used to say" lines, and it's true! After the brain has been awake for an extended time, our logical/rational executive thinking ability starts to deteriorate. So perhaps the middle of the night may not be the best time for thought-work needed to sleep better. A thought download, a helpful way to demonstrate to your brain that you are aware of the negative thoughts or worries that may be driving yo...

Insomnia Insight #361: The Men In Black "Memory Eraser"!

January 23, 2021 00:58 - 11 minutes - 16.1 MB

One of the best things you can do for great sleep is not to dwell on the previous night of sleep (or lack of it). Recalling the negative feelings often cause daytime fatigue and depressed mood. This can then lead to sleep efforts to change/adjust things to make the next night better, which just perpetuate the insomnia. Remember the little pen-like "memory eraser" in the MIB movies? Well, unfortunately this is not an option to "forget" the night in the morning. Would be great if it was real!...

Insomnia Insight #358: Daytime activity can be a sleep effort!

January 09, 2021 23:17 - 8 minutes - 11.4 MB

Many people try to "exhaust" away their hyperarousal and insomnia. But sleep only happens with absense of any effort to sleep when a person has been awake long enough. This does not mean that what you do during the day has no impact on sleep - sleep and wake are dualistic, two sides of the same coin. The key is understanding your reason for being active during the day! Do you have trouble sleeping? Can’t sleep? Have questions about insomnia or sleep? Please submit here and we will try to r...

January 09, 2021 00:45 - 12 minutes - 16.9 MB

While having a consistent morning rise time is generally helpful for your sleep (anchors the circadian rhythm), having a consistent bedtime can backfire. Think about how this is similar to hunger, another natural drive: Do you try to eat at precisely the same time, eat exctly the same amount or quality of food? Why would someone expect to go to bed and fall asleep at the same time each night? Bed"time" should not be strict, but rather "fuzzy"! Do you have trouble sleeping? Can’t sleep? Have...

Insomnia Insight #356: The Counter Effort

January 08, 2021 00:27 - 8 minutes - 11.6 MB

When you’ve understood that some things you’ve done to make yourself sleep, aka sleep efforts, have actually been standing in your way, you may be tempted to stop them so that you can sleep. This is what is called a counter effort, and just like the sleep effort, it ends up making sleep more difficult.
