Insomnia insight #184: Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia works best when goal = feeling good
If your goal with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is to sleep 7 hours, you won’t get there. If your goal is to feel amazing and be happy, you just might.
Focusing on numbers gives insomnia attention which it loves. Focusing on how you feel deprives it of attention without which it cannot survive.
