I’ve posted a few times before on this forum, and it’s been a year I think since I last posted a ‘success’ message. I just wanted to follow up with another – insomnia can be fixed for good.

How, you may be wondering… I’ll put it as simply as I can…

It’s the subconscious that wakes you up, almost like an expectation. But if you start telling yourself how great a sleeper you are, which can be pure bullshit at first … write it down, mediate, whatever … eventually it becomes true. The subconscious doesn’t respond to logic, but it does respond to repetition.

Best of luck everyone 🙂

p.s. If you think the above is pure nonsense – just try it for one week (no negative words or thoughts about sleep, write down how great a sleeper you are every day). You will sleep better.

Thank you for this @sleepykieran.
When I turned to CBTI, I had absolutely no confidence in my ability to sleep un-aided, which I’ve now learned is quite common. I’m gradually developing more confidence. What I think you’re speaking to goes a step beyond the “I can do this” confidence statement we tell ourselves, to an “I am this” belief.
I appreciate the technique, and your mantras on the other thread. I will be doing this!
