In this informative video, we delve into the link between anxiety and insomnia, discussing why people struggling with anxiety often experience sleep issues.
We talk about how sustained stress and heightened sensitivity of the nervous system, which triggers an increase in cortisol and adrenaline production, can affect one's sleep cycle. Shaan shares his personal struggles with insomnia, providing several tips to improve sleep during the anxiety recovery process, emphasizing the importance of removing pressure and understanding that sleep comes naturally when we let go. The video also introduces resources such as the Desensitization Blueprint-a tool to help desensitize your nervous system. Additional free resources are linked below, along with a link for a Mentorship application for those needing more guidance.
@00:00 Introduction to Anxiety and Insomnia: If you're struggling with panic attacks, if you're experiencing bizarre, mysterious physical symptoms that doctors can't figure out, if you're having scary, intrusive thoughts, you might even start feeling disconnected, where you might be feeling derealized or depersonalized.
@00:48 Understanding Anxiety and Its Impact on Sleep: In this video, I want to break down insomnia and how it applies to anxiety recovery.
@01:50 Exploring the Role of the Nervous System in Anxiety: One of the best resources... The best feedback we get is from the Desensitization Blueprint that helps you desensitize your nervous system.
@02:59 Personal Experience with Anxiety and Insomnia: Now, like I mentioned, I never really had a history of sleeping issues when I was growing up.
@03:41 The Science Behind Anxiety and Sleep Issues: One of the first things I want you to understand is that when your nervous system is sensitized, your body is producing natural cortisol.
@04:39 Experiencing Panic Attacks During Sleep: Now, if you were like me, I would wake up in the middle of the night with a panic attack.
@05:13 Understanding the Role of Adrenaline in Panic Attacks: A lot of people think panic attacks only happen in situations where you get triggered, but when your nervous system is sensitized, believe it or not, your body is producing not only excess cortisol but also excess adrenaline.
@06:42 The Pressure of Insomnia and Anxiety: Principles when it comes to struggling with insomnia.
208:08 Changing Your Perspective on Sleep: One of the first things I want you to understand is to take the pressure off.
@09:23 Understanding Sleep as a Process, Not a Goal: The second thing to understand is that sleep is not a goal.
@10:04 The Role of Sensitized Nervous System in Sleep Issues: And the third thing is to recognize that this is all a consequence of your nervous system becoming sensitized.
@10:58 Conclusion and Further Resources

Same here. Thank you for your helpful tips. I sleep 4 hours some nights. Im a bit overtrained though. When i cut training i get up after 2 hours and 5.7 stone that just causes weight to plummet i just eat and train to gain muscle. Tough work but added 5kg. With no sleep there was nothing. Sometimes 4 pounds in a week could go.

I usually can sleep(3-7h) but i get these weird feelings at the moment i start to drift off it's either jerk of random body part that wakes me up or i just get this feeling of fear in my stomach... some nights it's there some nights it's not. Nevertheless i always get stressed before going to bed because of it and it makes me wake up at night and sometimes i get insomnia because of it because i low key get scared of falling asleep again to not get those sensations.

@shalinidas8627 7 ай бұрын

I have gone through this when I was getting this weird feeling in my stomach and my body would just jerk of everytime I go to sleep. I was scared of it I thought something is really bad I could not sleep for days. Then I saw his video about this and he said not pressure your mind to sleep. Just lie down and do nothing even if you feel all the weird feelings just do nothing and I tried that and eventually I was able to fall asleep I didn't even know when I did I fall asleep so I think you should not stress on it. Just lie down and do nothing. No phone nothing just be there and eventually you will fall asleep.

@Jemma456 6 ай бұрын

Im the same. I would be falling asleep and wake up in a panic with my heart racing and lots of fear. Then i wouldn't want to go back to sleep. Though i am so desperate for sleep. When i do finally sleep, I'm waking up in a panic again. It's a vicious cycle.

I take Seriphos or Lactium to lower nighttime cortisol. If you wake between 2-4 AM and can't go back to sleep it is early cortisol rise.

Same here! Sometimes I feel fine with minimal symptoms for a week, but I still get maximum 3hrs of sleep without waking up. I always go to sleep quite easy, but it is hard for me to slee through the night. But then after good week I had a setback for 3 days ( I guess it was a setback because actually most of my symptoms came back ), and when the setback came down, I managed to get 6 hours of sleep without waking up! It was first time after 2 months of anxiety that I got that much sleep. But yeah today was another bad sleep night when I woke up every hour and go back to sleep, even if my symptoms now are pretty managable and I feel fine. So yeah, I guess tou can be in your recovery, feel fine, but still have trouble sleeping. We got this, good luck!
