Many people worry that getting up at night will be a problem for their family when this is rarely the case! Have you tried speaking to them about whether you getting up and quietly sitting in another room would be disruptive?

That book by Matthew Walker is, in my opinion, the absolute worst book on sleep ever written and is the cause of many cases of insomnia. I have worked with clients who had no problem with sleep until they read that book and freaked out about their sleep and this actually led to insomnia.
If you want a quick and more accurate read about the health problems caused by insomnia (spoiler — there aren’t any) then I would highly recommend this book: Why We Don’t Sleep: How the wellness industry unintentionally created an insomnia epidemic.
I hope this helps!
