Why letting go is so damn hard (and what to do about it)

Hi there! I think every person who struggles with insomnia or anxiety in general will agree – it’s not easy to let go of trying to control the situation. In fact, the whole “surrender“ venture feels illogical when there seems to be an obvious problem that needs to be solved.
Hi Alina, would an example of trying to control sleep be trying to sleep in a different position if I wake up wide awake in my current position? I feel like I’m doing something wrong if I don’t change positions because I read most people change positions several times throughout the night. I am comfortable lying on back but can’t sleep through the night right now. Would this be because I’m not turning over to another position or that sleep is just not there right now? Thank you
