I see a huge difference on when/how I sleep based on these factors. If i eat dinner too late - can’t sleep. If I’m working out regularly - sleep like the dead. If I’m “revenge scrolling” - can’t sleep. Everyone is difference obviously, but we’re all biological humans.
Absolutely. I probably should’ve landed on those notes, though they are familiar to many. To tell the truth, I was more interested in the social stigma surrounding sleeplessness and its various pharmacological solutions, and I was interested in laying out CBT I as an alternative.
Cool thread. Mine is I fear falling asleep sometimes, and other times I could fall asleep but I feel like I need to figure out a big problem in my life and I don't allow my self to. I have had anxiety that prevented sleep when I wanted it, but not in over a year.
I’m so sorry. But I’m glad it’s been a year since that’s happened to you. My mind used to race before bed too. I was told to keep a journal next to my bed so I could “brain dump” things on paper. It helped sometimes. But even now I HAVE to listen to relaxing talking or else my mind goes.
“Get Sleepy” stories by Thomas on YouTube are are super relaxing and help me fall asleep. But I listen to a lot of stuff. I know where you’re coming from, and I hope it keeps getting better for you. 🫶🏼
Thanks!
I'm looking forward to reading this! So far all I've been able to do is ctrl-f, and notice there's no mention of ASMR. Did anyone bring that up in your reporting?
I don’t know how I missed the first half of this thread. All I saw was the article! I’m sorry I missed so much of it at first, I just saw it.
I hesitated to even write my comment because I knew they were generic reasons, but they are so core to my sleep issues that I did. I think CBT for insomnia would help a lot of people. Great idea, I hope it catches on. Well, it’s 9pm est so I wish you a peaceful wind down and ᧁꪮꪮᦔ ꪀ𝓲ᧁꫝ𝓽 🌝
