    Hi Jonathan and Martin!

    Daniel here, sleep physician here mentioned above!

    Hope you’re both doing well. I think watching this video – the most important point to make imho is that waking up in itself is completely normal. When you interpret a sleep study you see that waking up several times per hour is common.

    However – the reaction to waking up is what sets people with and without insomnia apart.

    Someone with no trouble sleeping whatsoever just roll over and don’t ever remember waking up!

    Many with insomnia are immediately aware of being awake and identify this as a problem and then start thinking of what to do. And that, the thought process of figuring out what to do and how to avoid this in the future and wondering why one woke up – that’s the real issue.

    Not waking up.

    Just some thoughts that listening to this video made me want to share.

    Stay well and sleep better everyone!
