    What to do when Noise Causes Insomnia?

    In this episode of Mining the Comments, Coach Daniel responds to a question from community member JennyLynn-h5o, who struggles with insomnia caused by external noise and has moved multiple times in search of quiet. We explore why noise itself isn’t what causes insomnia—and how it’s often the fear of being woken up or fear of insomnia returning that keeps us awake. You’ll learn how insomnia really starts, why trying to escape noise can backfire, and how changing your relationship with noise and wakefulness can help you sleep through sounds again. If nighttime noise keeps you on high alert, this episode is for you. If you’re new here and curious to learn more, our FREE video course, The Festival of Understanding, is the perfect place to start.

    It's Not Going To Be Forever

    Erica, a nurse supervisor, went from crippling sleep panic to freedom. The shock of acute insomnia made her terrified of her bedroom. Traditional sleep rules and a CBTI app made her panic "ten times worse". She tried Trazodone and QUVIVIQ, but found true relief by completely stopping the time-checking and realizing she could have a "really good vacation" even with no sleep.
