Hi everyone, just joined the forum to get some support around insomnia. Currently, my biggest challenge is just thinking about going to bed activates my nervous system. Looking forward to connecting.
Same here. I go through horrible cycles and here I am again. It’s the middle of day here and I am thinking about how I can’t sleep tonight, and I’m exhausted because I slept 2 hrs last night🙄. I know I can sleep fine, if I just relax, it’s like a horrible double edge sword. Don’t think your alone, you are not!!

It’s OK for your nervous system to get activated and it’s OK to think about sleep. In fact, it’s OK to experience the full range of human thoughts and emotions. Some feel good, some don’t. Some are useful, some aren’t.
The true source of struggle often comes from all our attempts to control what cannot be controlled — to try to fight or avoid certain thoughts and feelings. To battle with sleep and wakefulness night after night.
If we think about it, how likely is sleep to happen if we are going to bed in a full suit of armor, a sword in one hand, a shield in the other, ready to engage in a battle the whole night?
What if we could allow the brain to do what it wants to do (and will do anyway)? How freeing might that be? How much more comfortable might it be to lie in bed without that big heavy suit of armor (and sharp, pointy sword)?!
