I have read so many positive reviews of the course on this forum and am willing to purchase it and work my way through it. The only challenge is I feel it may not work for me.
The reason I feel this way is that thoughts about sleep consume me day and night.
If I have a good night sleep , I dont trust my ability to sleep well the following day and so the night becomes ruined.
Am now wondering whether I have sleep anxiety only or probably some other anxiety disorder.
Did any of you feel this way before purchasing the course
Does the course help with dealing with constant thoughts about sleep day and night?
From most of the successful stories am hearing, its like most people only battled thoughts towards night time whereas for me, it all I can think and google about.
Another challenge with me, if I wake up during the night, my mind goes like don’t start worrying about sleep otherwise you will go into hyperarousal and not go back to sleep. Its like the more education I get, the more my mind uses it as ammunition against me.
Anyone experienced anything like this?

I can’t speak for others but what I can say is concern that the course might not work is common — and, to me, it often predicts success.

That’s because having that concern proves you have a problem-solving mind, that you are a strong self-advocate, and that you are determined to succeed.

I am yet to meet anyone who struggles with sleep who doesn’t experience difficult (and distracting) thoughts and feelings. They come with the struggle.

When it comes to insomnia, the struggle doesn’t exist only at night. It shows up during the day, too. In fact, I’d suggest that the biggest impact of insomnia comes during the day, since that’s when we are typically living (or wanting to live) the life we want to live.

The six-week course deeply explores the thoughts and feelings that tend to come with insomnia — why they show up, how we typically respond to them, workable ways of responding to them, and how to reduce the power and influence they have over us.

In conclusion, nothing in your post is unique or unusual. It sounds as though you are going through the same experience with insomnia as others. That knowledge might not make it any less difficult to experience but hopefully it gives you the understanding that change is possible if you are ready to make change happen 🙂
