In this episode we talk about the sandstorm. A struggle that can happen despite (or in some way because of) starting to see clearly why insomnia happens and how one can let go. Although this struggle feels like being lost in a painful and blinding storm of sand, relief may be closer than it seems.

This is what I absolutely LOVE about this and Alina’s channels! We all share the high highs but we also share the lowest lows of the journey here too. It’s not always just finding the channel, learning and riding off into the sunset with no challenges ever again. It really is major ups with extreme downs and Coach Daniel really makes sure to highlight the very real struggles that one may endure during it. Introducing Alina and Michelle has been even more helpful (for me at least) when going through the trenches because they give reassurance that going through those tough, dark places are worth it because of the peace that’s waiting on the other side. You 3 are the epitome of what coaching is and should be. Thank you so much Coach D, Alina and Michelle!! ❤️❤️

Oh I needed this today :), thank you so much! When Alina described the sandstorm I just nodded the whole time . Exactly this happens right now to me and it is a big relief to have a name for it and to normalize it as a part of the journey, but a really painful one , your channel is so helpful thank you a lot!

Thank you so much for this discussion guys. I really resonate with the sandstorm metaphor. Sometimes there's just no stopping it. It can start early in the morning for me and it runs until the wind stops blowing. Fighting it prolongs it. Surrendering to it feels terrifying and impossible. My system instinctively braces for another ordeal. I know two things from this experience.

Excellent episode. Unfortunately after a sustained period of great sleep, I now find myself back in the sandstorm, been like this for a couple of months. This period has been particularly pernicious and tough, as you know Daniel that I gave an account for your channel explaining my recovery from insomnia, to be back there has been my darkest period. The sandstorm analogy is a perfect description; having the knowledge yet unable to process it. I have to remind myself and to all the community, that the brain will catch up eventually, and to step out of your own way. Learning all these skills is like having a Swiss army knife with all theses blades but you're not sure which blade to use. Terrible analogy, but feel free to use it. Best wishes to you and the community.

Fantastic episode! I learned a lot from it as I have just been in a 'sandstorm' for these past 2 months. Like always, being able to conceptualise my own experience in this way, makes it possible to relate to what is going on. Cheers for these 3 insomnia gurus!

Many thanks for these videos and discussion. Can you talk more about how to take more of an observer role to the sandstorm? Was wondering what practical steps to shift to this perspective when thoughts and emotions become overwhelming…

Hi, I’ve had insomnia for about 11years, from reading your set it and forget it book, I’ve had a lot of success falling asleep, but when I wake up in the middle of the night I just can’t fall back asleep no matter what(this has always been a big problem). It’s also hard to find something fun when in SO exhausted! I try Netflix. Help?

I started experiencing insomnia as I weaned myself off Lexapro my antidepressant, I just wanted to be off all mind altering substances. I am already on a lot of medication for my heart I have a damaged heart or CHF... anyway I realized I might need to get back on it since I was not sleeping and having extreme anxiety and almost no sleep so I got back on it which I did. To my surprise I still couldn't sleep and the anxiety was not letting up! So I went to my Doctor and she has prescribed several sleep medications that worked some but not for long. I am now taking trazadone which is starting to not work like the others! Am I wrong for trying all these medications? I just want to sleep and get rid of this anxiety it is affecting my whole life. How do you do it without medication? I don't know if I could.

What if someone has insomnia due to low progesterone ? I ordered some pills. I hope they help. I feel powerless in my battle with insomnia. It’s a constant battle.
