Yep i have this too. Insomnia is not comlicated its all hyperarousal anxiety. But its getting that hyperarousal down that is the issue for all of us. More we worry about it the worse it is. The longer you go on with insomnia the more you realise that your life still continues the more the hyperarousal comes down when you dont worry about it. To get technical i believe it all comes from the limbic system (anxiety system) which has inputs to the hypothalamus/orexin which then activates your arousal centres adrenaline etc in the brain stem this then overeides your sleep drive . Its like a flip flop. But its all hyperarousal
Poul jennum science of sleep on youtube explains the neuro science part of it very well but Martin will guide you through the behavioral side and overriding the arousal to help you sleep better
