Insomnia insight #382: Know the answer to this classic question (and it's cousin)!
It is one of the most common questions in the world of sleep. Along with “Won’t I train myself to get out of bed?”, “Won’t I train myself to wake up?” illustrate the problems of thinking that insomnia is a Pavlovian association between being awake and the bed. In this episode we see that the true association that drives insomnia is between wakefulness and danger. And when this association no longer is present, peaceful sleep will happen.
Do you have trouble sleeping? Can’t sleep? Have questions about insomnia or sleep?
Please submit here and I will try to respond soon in an Open class episode.
