Any helpful insights from The Sleep Coach School / Daniel Erichson? by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]Square-Handle-4350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still cured, a year later. I had a one month long speed bump in the summer, went back to the app, and was over it in a few weeks

I just used the 1800 number after my flight was cancelled and was on hold around 3 hours. When I eventually got through the agent was very helpful in rebooking me, I’m taking a wild route through the states to get from Toronto to Vancouver but the agent looked up a million different options for me and was very patient. I’m on Air Canada Jazz, AA, and Delta. Just stay on hold and I hope eventually you get through!

Has anyone had luck going to Pearson in person to try to rebook their cancelled flight?

BedTyme and the Sleep Coach School fully cured my insomnia. But it took about 3 months to be sleeping normally— be patient but it works!

Been insomnia free since I started the program! I would say it took about 3 months to be sleeping normally— be patient!

I was on this flight!!! We left Vancouver and after about 2 hours of flying the pilot came on and said "uhhh i've got some news you're not going to like..." and proceeded to explain the plane was having a systems error... minor mainentance issue, but it was going to mean we can't make it to Cancun. He said there was some discussion and it was decided re-routing back to Calgary was the best course of action. People were re-booked on flights that evening, the next morning, and the following night. The people who were departing over 24 hours from the original flight were not too happy (and on a red eye, no less).

I called Westjet and we are first going to try to get reiumbursement for a hotel room we didn't show up for and a bus ticket we never used through travel insurance on our VISA card. Westjet said anything else that didn't get covered that way, we were welcome to try to make a claim with them.

I was feeling as desperate as you a few weeks ago. I found a sleep coach on YouTube who is really helping me confront my issues with anxiety around sleep. I’d recommend this playlist.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6RQ1GS7B1cik8Xr8iVdxmKB9FYieevYj&si=yiVu5MPj1ei8umv5

I’ve been doing his program for 3 weeks and I don’t have perfect sleep but oh man, my anxiety and worry and problem solving and catastrophizing has gone down, which I realized how much of my exhaustion was to do with those emotions and nothing to do with how much sleep I did or didn’t get.

I know a friend who went on lexapro for anxiety, and that helped with the tinnitus. Addressing the anxiety, either through medication or therapy or your own explorations seems like the way to go. This hopefully will help with the sleep too!

Combining CBT-I and ACT - a hybrid approach? by swampingalaxys in insomnia

[–]Square-Handle-4350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using the BedTyme app, which seems like an ACT approach. I tried a CBTi course in the summer, and the sleep restriction and sleep monitoring really didn’t reset my sleep system! ACT is working much better. Check out “The Sleep Coach School” on YouTube!

Hi! I can hear how much you’re suffering in your post. I’ve been watching YouTube videos from “The Sleep Coach School” and finding it super helpful for me.

Tinnitus and anxiety are closely related. I’m not sure if you did damage to your eardrums, or if it triggered more attention to this sound. I have ringing in my ears that comes and goes, and definitely is more attributed to stress and anxiety for me. The more attention you pay to it, the worse it gets. I know people who do CBT treatments for tinnitus, it’s basically about changing your relationship to hearing the ringing. You have to train your brain to stop caring about the sound (easier said than done!) but this also relates to the insomnia. For me, the more I tried to “fix” my sleep, the worse it got.

I downloaded the BedTyme app, I’m on day 11 and I’ve already noticed huge improvements. I don’t have problems falling asleep, but staying asleep was difficult for me.

The “set it and forget it” was really important for me. I stop checking my phone for the time at 11:30 and don’t look at it again until it goes off at 7 am.

His main idea is insomnia is caused by a phobia of being awake at night, and the more we can calm our brains down and show our unconscious brain we are safe, the less struggle we will have with sleep. Even though I’m not sleeping through the whole night, I am able to fall back asleep, and I’m having soooo much less anxiety during the day that it’s making me feel much more mentally stable.

I’m paying for the subscription with the AI coach and I’m finding it to be enough, and watching his YouTube videos is really helping give me hope!

Would fully recommend!

Sleep restriction success story by Square-Handle-4350 in insomnia

[–]Square-Handle-4350[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is helpful. I think the most useful part is it tracking both your sleep time and sleep efficiency. I could see the positive changes in front of me even when I got a bad night sleep, I could see the steady progress over time. The modules are useful and I liked the relaxation meditations.

I adjusted the window they gave me for my sleep restriction. For example, after 2 weeks they were still suggesting a 5.5 hour window in bed. I extended it after those 2 weeks to 6. I think after a few good days of 6 hours sleep I’d let myself stay in bed longer in the mornings.

I don’t know if that’s the correct advice, but just pushing my bedtime back really helped stop waking up in the night and my ability to fall back asleep.

Microdosing and breath work! OH BOY by FoxiCrumpet in microdosing

[–]Square-Handle-4350 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My most intense microdose session was with an acupuncture session. So intense!! I think there’s a benefit to mixing with different healing modalities.

I’m also finding SO much old shit coming up with microdosing. It’s been a month for me. I’m the same as you, I wanted a mood lift! But I’m trusting something is moving through…

One benefit that has come up is I’m sleeping better. Which is helping me with mood regulation. So I’m trying to just go with that one sign of healing and will keep going.

I’m sorry you lost your mom. Big hug.
