Hi there š Last week I realized that there are already a bit over 100 of you who read Sleep Talks Letters ā this is so wonderful! A hundred unique and deep-thinking individuals who in spite of the turmoils of insomnia are still willing to stay on the path of understanding themselves and their fears ā Iām proud of you!
This definitely resonates with me, Alina. And I'm past the worst of my insomnia struggles (sleepless nights multiple times a week), but I'm still dealing with nearly sleepless nights (maybe 1-2 hours of sleep) regularly--perhaps once a week with another night of ~3-4 hours of sleep.
I understand a lot more about sleep than I ever thought I'd know. And I realize I can't control when I'll fall asleep, the amount of sleep I get, or the quality of my sleep. Yet for some reason, I continue to have nights like last night where I fall asleep on the couch, probably for a good hour, then head to bed, only to lie awake most of the night.
I've shared my thoughts about not stressing about rough nights of sleep on your YouTube channel, as well as Coach Daniel's, but I still find myself in the struggle in spite of my knowledge.
Thanks for all you do. I'll just keep working through my insomnia in hopes that it'll dissipate with time. I guess all our journeys are different.
Hi Alina. I asked myself the same question many many times - there should be a reason (a higher reason) why I was sent this torture on Earth called insomnia. It's here to teach me something or as other spiritual practices say I have some benefits from having it. It's such a hard question to ask yourself. I, just like you, came to the same realization recently, that it is here to teach me to give up control on other things/people in my life that I have no control over. I am not there yet to start thanking insomnia for teaching me that, but I can see myself moving in that direction:)
Thank you so much for your hard work! You have a talent in describing things in such beautiful and simple but insightful way, please keep doing what you are doing! We are here to thank you and support you!
Beautiful, Thank you so much for sharing. As you have learned more about what we do and do not have control over as humans, have there been any readings or books that you like?
