If you've been living with chronic insomnia for a long time, it's only natural that you might feel worried about what tonight may bring. However, if you are implementing constructive and evidence-based techniques that will improve your sleep for the long term, what happens from night to night doesn't actually matter all that much.<br /><br />Related video:<br /><br />When you have insomnia, keep looking forward and avoid dwelling on the setbacks and difficult nights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQl-aRu5Qrg<br /><br />The thing is, you cannot control how well or how poorly you might sleep tonight — so worrying about this or trying to predict the future isn't helpful. With that being said, you can control things that will give sleep the best chance possible.<br /><br />You have control over what to do during your day — if you add enjoyable activities to your day and don't cancel or modify your day in response to a hard night you will improve the quality of your life and be able to recognize that you have far more control over the quality of your day than sleep does.<br /><br />Related videos:<br /><br />Adding more enjoyable moments to your life and planning fun activities reduces the power of insomnia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cg7HMiM-Z4<br /><br />If you have chronic insomnia, you have an incredible ability! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL8AwEN9GxA<br /><br />You also have control over when you go to bed at night, what you do if you are in bed and finding sleep difficult, and when to get out of bed to start your day in the morning.<br /><br />If you are observing a regular and appropriate sleep window, getting out of bed when being in bed becomes unpleasant, and getting out of bed by the same time every day you will be building sleep drive, helping to regulate your body clock, and reducing sleep-related worry — all of which can perpetuate insomnia.<br /><br />Related video:<br /><br />Watch me use my mystical powers to reveal how your sleep issues began and why you now have insomnia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTMJ2t4skG8<br /><br />Ultimately, your goal is better sleep over the long term.
