A month ago, I was told I had a tumor around my lungs which looked to be non cancerous and might need to be removed. But this was a misunderstanding between the doctors and they concluded there was nothing anyways and declared me healthy again. The hospitals are free here so it took some time to get this good news to me. In the meantime sadly, I had developed ‘insomnia’. It was not that bad though compared to what I have heard and read.
However, a fear of sickness and death has installed inside me now. Small aches are noticeable and I am thinking of worst case scenarios. This has ultimately worsened my sleep. I tend to sleep for an hour and wake up and takes another hour to sleep. I am not even sure If I am sleeping. It just feels like desperate attempts. These days, I cant even get to the 1 hr of sleep. As soon as i close my eyes to sleep, I have this tension in whole of my face. Although my body is tired, I cant sleep. But some of the videos from Martin have truly made me realize few vital things I need to do so thank you Martin Reed for this. I feel I am getting there soon enough. I hope I didnt bore anyone with my long story and good luck to everyone out there as well.

Hi Sumit008
It is terrible when a health scare triggers insomnia which won’t go away even when the health issue is resolved.
Have you signed up for Martin free course, if not do it now! It will help you.
You will sleep well again and the best way to achieve this is to stop trying to sleep. Not so easy I know but you will get there.

Welcome to the forum! It sounds as though you recognize that there’s not much unusual happening when we experience some sleep disruption at a time of such stress and worry! Usually, sleep recovers as we adjust or when the initial trigger for sleep disruption is no longer relevant.

If sleep doesn’t recover by itself, that’s usually because of a change in our sleep-related thoughts and behaviors — as you have been learning from the Insomnia Coach YouTube channel!

Thanks for sharing your story and please keep us updated with your progress!
