About this listen

 Dan’s insomnia began suddenly. What started as a couple of sleepless nights quickly escalated into months of clock-watching, strict routines, and desperate attempts to fix sleep. The harder he tried, the more stuck he felt — and before long, he was convinced he was broken. Everything changed when Dan began responding differently. Instead of fighting with his nights, he focused on easing the pressure, limiting clock-checks, and committing to meaningful actions during the day. Over time, he realized he could notice his thoughts without believing them, and his confidence in his body’s natural ability to sleep returned. In this episode, Dan shares the ups and downs of that journey — and what finally made the difference. Watch/listen to this episode
