Hi, I haven’t posted on here in awhile.

Around two years ago, my occasional poor sleep and anxiety turned into debilitating anxiety, insomnia and depression, due to various personal situations in my life (a relationship ending, family moving away from my city, etc.) They ruined my days and nights. I was terrified that I would have these problems for the rest of my life and that they would ruin my life. I tried many sleep hygiene ideas, bought many sleep gadgets, saw overpriced sleep doctors, used sleep meds, meditated/prayed/did yoga, etc. Although the benzo let me sleep, I didn’t want to become reliant or addicted to it.

After doing the free course initially, I completed Martin’s 8-week course about a year ago. I sleep much better now. I still have occasional bad nights due to my racing brain, anxiety about different things, trouble sharing a bed with a partner sometimes, etc. I no longer have insomnia and sometimes get more than 8+ hours per night consistently. Thank you for your help and support.

Nao – Glad you’re sleeping much better!

[Martin Reed]

You transformed your sleep because you remained committed to implementing behaviors that strengthened sleep drive, strengthened your body clock, and reduced arousal. You are enjoying better sleep because of your efforts and because of your natural ability to sleep, Nao!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. As you rightly pointed out, there will always be occasional nights when sleep is a bit more difficult — because that’s a part of life!

As long as you resist the temptation to implement behaviors that perpetuate temporary sleep disruption, insomnia can never work its way back into your life!

Thank you so much for sharing your transformation!
