Hi, I’d like to know, since Martin’s course is just 2 months and you’re talking about the results noe being immediate – how long in general it took you to get better?
Hi Chee,
I tried already, but due to my underlying anxiety disorder was extremely out of focus and on the edge of panic attacks.
But might try again later, when I probably mastered my anxieties coming from an all-nighter a bit more.Anyway, your last 2 sentences made me laugh so much I might note them on my sheet of evening affirmations! 😀
Thankyou so much for your long response, hiker, very interesting to read.
Even after knowing meditation for quite some time now (but tbh not to keen about it) I still can’t wrap my head around what “mindfulness” exactly is.
If you have any more details to say about mindfulness in regard to insomnia, I’d love to read it.“your body will sort it out for you” –
– but isn’t this the exact problem: that I experience my body NOT sorting it out for me?
That I experience lying in bed, not even wired anymore, quiet, calm, overall too tired to stress myself out – and YET the body isn’t sorting it out for me?
Yet it doesn’t sleep, yet it makes me unable to work.I lost trust in my body, this is the scariest thing in this insomnia episode for me.
I have been like this a month ago, and suddenly everything changed. Thing is, I can’t not care about sleeplessness since after sleepness nights my whole body is wrenched and on the edge of panic attacks.
Martin suggests not letting your day be influenced by your sleep, but in my case it’s just impossible. I can’t teach my students like this.Thankyou Chee.
As I’m new to the forum, may I ask if you’re a client of Martin’s and if/how you yourself have overcome insomnia?Thankyou for the quick reply!
However I still have questions, since I’m quite new to the topic of sleep restriction.
As in not being able to work at the moment I can at least comfort myself that there won’t be an alarm clock waiting at the end of a night, so that at least every other night (and the following day) is good since I got a night’s sleep. The day following the sleepless night is full of worries about my future, cramps in the stomach, dizzyness, depression etc.
If I have to set the alarm clock every night, will it not spoil the good nights (and days) as well, since the time frame stresses me out? Why set an alarm clock and not just naturally let the sleep roll once it comes?
