This is by far the best method about healing from insomnia. I used to suffer from it since 2016. Thank god I watched some of your videos at the end of 2020. It was a game changer. Thank you very much!

Martin, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, I believe that you truly want to help people, because although I can't afford to buy your program, you have so much content and steps that I can utilize. And it has truly helped me. ( I am also extremely appreciative of the fact that you are up front with your fees instead doing a song and dance about why I should purchase it). Many thanks to you!

Martin, you literally are angel sent from heaven ! I have always been a very light sleeper, but I slowly develop an insomnia in past 2years, I have tried everything such sleep medicine, antihistamine,sleep aid supplements, melatonin, sleep tea, traditional Chinese herbal medicine, sleep hygiene,exercise, meditation ….. but nothing really helps to change my insomnia until I get the CBT-I treatment through UCLA sleep study one on one coaching for 9 weeks, it was great, I learned a lot from it and have improved my sleep without medication but still on my melatonin and sleep supplements, because the lack of continuous support and coaching,my sleep still not consistent until I found your podcast and I none stop watching all your videos which that really made me fully understand how it works, I began to follow your advice and explanations and do it all over again, now, i stop taking meds & all supplements,just following your advice such sleep restriction and time window also continue listen & watching your podcasts, it’s been a game changer for me, it’s been 10 days since i followed your podcast, the results are amazing, I begin to feel hopeful….. thank you soooo much for all your various video interviews , you saved my life !

Martin is the real deal and his CBTi techniques really do work for insomnia.

What is really remarkable, is that no one in these videos looks like an insomniac. No one has dark eye circles... 😮

Oh my gosh 4 hours of sleep would be heavenly!

I slept less than 5 hours of broken sleep last night… 😔 that’s been the norm for me for almost 10 years. The pervasive mental fog, exhaustion, and sense of helplessness can turn even life’s most beautiful moments into existential anguish if not approached with utmost mental fortitude. And yet, seemingly paradoxically, the solution is to struggle less. Insomnia is one hell of a thing to deal with. Amor Fati.

Martin, I love what you do and love how kindly you've been responding to other people's comments here! Your perspective on my situation would be very much appreciated. I'm 24 years old and unfortunately have always had major troubles with sleep. Didn't sleep well as a baby, a kid, a teen, a college student, etc. But lately it's been completely affecting my ability to function. It wouldn't surprise you to hear that I've been spending up to 16 hours in bed each day and getting only 4 to 5 hours of sleep lately. So I started bed restriction. And now I tear up when I hear you end each video with "Remember: you CAN sleep." But doubt creeps in because I feel like my case is an exception. And with doubt comes panic. I've been bed restricting four days so far, and my sleep efficiency is 26.3% according to the CBT-i app. I got 0 hours my fist night, 3 the second, 0.5 the third, and 0.5 the fourth (last night). Is there really not a point at which this becomes dangerous? Have you worked with someone whose numbers were as bad as mine? 😭😭

My problem is laying there in bed thinking about sleeping and all day.

Dear Leah, did you have many setbacks after you went better for a time? I can not believe what you are telling us... And was your anxiety very very big? Mine is through the roof. I suffer since 8th of March this year. And I was suicadal. Though I am such a strong person. Sending you love and thank you so so much... ❤

W H A T ??? 3 to 4 months???? This is great. I thought it would take 2 years. But that is because you suffered from it so long before.... Mister Reed. I found your videos today. And if I understood it right, you yourself, suffered from insomnia, too? Right? To be honest. This can be felt in the way you ask questions and the way you talk about it... God bless you!!!

For several days I have had a relapse of insomnia. About two years ago, I used CBTI for a few months and my sleep improved. Then it got worse again, but I started to accept the emotions and feelings in bed and my approach to sleep changed. I could lie down and relax, and sleep came. Even shift work did not interfere with this. I could go home after a night and sleep easily. For a few days now, for no apparent reason, I feel bad in bed, I start to fight for sleep and I have very strong, unpleasant thoughts. What if I don't fall asleep at all, how will I manage at work. I try to lie down and relax sometimes, despite these unpleasant thoughts, but they are so strong that I can't. Today I tried to get out of bed, but lying on the couch and watching documentaries about space did not help. Both on the couch and in bed I felt bad. At 4 o'clock I called work that I was sick. I feel knocked out by an opponent I thought I beat. How is it possible that in a few days my approach to sleep deteriorated?

Hi. Martin, I am in the progress of CBTI as my insomnia is kicking again. I have it on/off for last 8 years. In many of your podcasts there is lot of talk regarding naps. What do you mean by that, 20- 30 min sleep, or maybe 45 min? Is lying and resting advise when really tired? Would it weaken sleep drive? Your answers are so precious. Thank you

I checked time every night i awake so as to know how long i slept last night. She is lucky to recovered from insomnia after following your videos. I could sleep 4 to 4.5 hours with lots of interput in between. I never feel sleepy at all but i forced myelf to go to bed at 9:30 or10pm and awake at 4 or4:30am and lye on bed till 6am, no sleep beyond 4:30, I will try to sleep at 11:30pm and lets see any changes in my sleep

Can you give many examples of people starting in a really rough place and making progress? I can give an example of what I mean. When I hear people talking of 3, 4 and 5 hour nights, it's bad, but this seems like something to build with. I've been a bit nervous to start CBT-i because previous spells have been runs of days such as three nights on 0 hours, or 0, 1 and 1-2 hours before I quit and hit the meds, usually the 4th/5th night I throw in the towel.

Sir i am from india.. i have insomnia since 6 month.. up to 5 month i used to take clonazepam 0.25 mg.. last month I realised that insomnia for me is due to fear or anxiety towards sleep.. I stopped medicine.. even though i am not feeling anxiety, i woke up middle of sleep everyday…i am not feeling drowsiness after woke up in middle of sleep .. does there is adrenalin rush subconsciously.. if it is there how i can overcome it?

Bro pls help i feel like im about to die if i dont get 7-8 hours of sleep havent slept for 2 days now

Hi i want to ask, i been experience anxiety and depression and turn into insomnia because anxious thought at night, im fully understand what it caused me to anxiety, depression and anxious im not feel that anymore and my sleep got better (i can sleep because im relax) but why still so hard to fall asleep? like i could tired and want to go sleep but after i close my eyes and going sleep is like i need 1-2 hours to really feel sleep, sorry for my bad english hope you understand what i saying

Hey, this video really spoke to me and I reached out to you on Instagram with a question about if you think it'd be helpful for me to work with you because of my specific case of insomnia following concussion :)
