Our 3am awakenings are signs that we have not been doing the sort of self-reflection we need to do in order to be at – or sleep in – peace.

“Sometimes we have simply had too much coffee, or the bedroom is too hot…but most often, insomnia is psychological. It is the mind’s revenge for all the efforts we have, largely unbeknownst to us, been making not to have certain thoughts in the day. We are being woken up by a need to think about something that we have assiduously been ignoring, probably thanks to our work, or our social and family commitments. Having attempted to get our attention by more normal means in the clamour of the day, our deep minds are now trying to get us to have an appointment with certain insights in the quieter hours of night…”

Lately, I've been feeling this strange sense of emptiness. I feel like I'm missing something in my life, like I'm not fulfilling my purpose.

Externalising these questions through journaling and working through them, I think is the optimal way to go.

Actually, thinking about my problems and analyzing them is keeping me awake for hours without getting to a solution. Simply because my brain needs sleep and is not able to find productive solutions. I've learned to postpone the analyzing and instead expell every word of thought from my head – in a friendly way. This is what helps me everytime! 😴😇

This will help me when I go to bed tonight! I agree that insomnia is usually a psychological thing... Having a peaceful mind will give you a much more peaceful sleep! ☀️☀️

The first video I’ve seen in years that doesn’t harp on about the usual “cures” for insomnia eg “no screen time before bed” “going to bed and getting up at the same time each day” etc etc. yet dealing with trauma, grief and looking into the causes of these things are never (or seldom) mentioned.

It's good to hear Mr Alain's voice again. Calms me. Calms me every time. I usually write in my journal most nights when I've had some deep despiriting thoughts in the day. It really helps. And to me, sleep is one of my top priorities, that I've set my mind on not compromising on my sleep unless I'm working on call or something really important.

Journaling and prayer 🙏🏽 reading a book helps me to go sleep. Chamomile tea too! But ultimately, confiding in my God is the best way to go.

This is a beautiful video. Just keep in mind, chronic insomnia IS very biological. Patients of chronic insomnia have changed their brains over many nights and the fear of not being able to sleep has become self-employed. But just as these thoughts are learned, they can be unlearned. I whole-heartedly recommend the book "Say good night to insomnia" by Gregg Jacobs, it saved my life.

Melatonin has been a major help for me. Definitely worth a try for anyone who's struggling to fall asleep.

My failure's as a father is what keeps me awake at night. I wake up every night thinking about all my mistakes, how can I repair them and is it too late? I'm always thinking, am I being a good role model? How can I do better? Why did I react like that? What can I do to support them? I love them completely, but do they feel it? what mental illness will develop when they're older? How can I get them to play more and watch less TV? Why does my eldest slap me when he's frustrated? What needs aren't being met? How can I connect more with them? The list goes on and on

I think for me it's no so much insomnia but more that I just enjoy being awake during the really late hours. It's peaceful and relaxing. Also theres no pressure on me, i can just lay in bed on my phone and not feel lazy or bad about it. I'm not working at the moment so I've had the luxury of being able to do that. Then i can sleep half the day and escape reality, so it's also a coping mechanism, not healthy one but one nonetheless
