Something we talked about in the support call today was how our story can be such an incredible contributor to our challenges. If I were to pay you well to stay up almost all night, celebrate and play with people you care about but you can only get a few hours of sleep how would you feel the next day? Tired, depleted sure, but what else? Maybe satisfied? Neutral? Worth it? Now how do you feel after you spend the whole night trying to sleep but only getting a few hours? I know in my case, i'd feel a lot worse. Why's that? I believe much of this is about the story we tell ourselves, what we make the lack of sleep mean, the "battle we create at night". It's so easy to place judgement on ourselves for not sleeping, thinking we are broken, thinking our future health is ruined. Maybe angry/frustrated at our bodies for not doing what its "supposed to be doing". This is worth reflecting on. How am I fueling additional energy loss, additional suffering because of the story I've created. Not to mention what is it "supposed to be doing". Well it's suppose to keep you safe.. so what danger does it feel? what part of you continues to feel unsafe? Have you taken the time to really be with yourself in a way that some part of you has been asking? I'm curious, does this ring true for you? Do you relate?

Hi everyone! Just joined the group a few minutes ago and I am so happy! I suffer from extreme insomnia and I feel like it's just getting worse. Can't wait to meet everyone! 🤗

On my note about waking up too early after only 4-5 hours, today someone helped me make a connection and rec: I had increased the amount of time between my last meal and sleep, typically 6pm and 11pm, in order to improve sleep, but a possible consequence of that might be an overnight drop in blood glucose. What worked for him is casein protein powder at night - it's a slower digesting protein so it lasts longer overnight, and it contains tryptophan. I tried some tonight and will share an update!
