Summary for ADHD/ADD folks - [00:00]🌙 Understanding Insomnia in the Context of Anxiety - Shaan shares personal experiences with insomnia during anxiety, highlighting the pressure to sleep for recovery. - Insomnia often accompanies anxiety, exacerbating the struggle. - Personal pressure to improve sleep can be counterproductive. - [01:40] 🧠 Exploring Anxiety and Nervous System Sensitization - Describes anxiety symptoms as a result of an overly sensitive nervous system. - Explains the body's production of cortisol and adrenaline during anxiety. - Emphasizes understanding the physiological aspects of anxiety and insomnia. - [03:30] 🌒 The Paradox of Sleep and Anxiety - Discusses the paradox of sleeping easily in less comfortable conditions versus anxiety-induced insomnia. - Highlights the impact of excessive focus on sleep among anxiety sufferers. - Encourages a relaxed approach to sleep, emphasizing trust in the body's natural sleep processes. - [06:30] ⏰ Panic Attacks and Their Timing in Relation to Sleep - Describes the occurrence of panic attacks during sleep due to excess adrenaline. - Differentiates between panic attacks triggered by anxiety-inducing situations and those due to adrenaline burn-off during sleep. - Advises understanding and non-reactive approaches to middle-of-the-night panic attacks. - [08:19] 🛌 Strategies for Dealing with Insomnia - Recommends reducing pressure on oneself to achieve sleep. - Sleep is not a goal but a natural process that occurs when one lets go. - Recovery from anxiety will naturally improve sleep patterns.

Paradoxical thinking helps as well. Instead of forcing to sleep or worrying about it, tell yourself its not a big deal.

Try to stay up and pressure to sleep goes away

Going through a setback after being in recovery for many months. And insomnia was the main symptom that came back. This video was a great reminder in getting back to the fundamentals.

Shaan , you have no idea how much you are helping people. I have your desensitisation guide and since then I am responding the right way. Everytime I get a hindrance I see an associated video from you which makes complete sense. thank you brother- from New Zealand

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.

Great video. Loved that I now know more about cortisol

Forever grateful because of your videos Shann. It really helped me a lot by watching and applying it. And guess whaaaat, I recovered from anxiety! And thats because of you.

Thank you for this video. Many of your videos have helped me so much. ❤

Thank you so much

thank u so much for this am in recovery two month sober after 18 years some days are great some are not so great thanks

I loved it and helped me so much in understanding process ❤❤❤

God bless you and thank you for sharing these videos I'm not in a recovered state but I'm trying so very hard. I've picked up volunteer work so that helps me a lot and I'm so thankful that you share these videos.

Great video

That's waaaaaaaaaoo.. Finallyy shaan uploaded..

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.

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.

Same I get those same fears during sleep, except it’s a feeling in my neck and feels like I can’t breathe in the middle of my sleep. I’ll wake up in a immediate panic attack and it’s so difficult to calm down afterwards

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.

Needed this please make another video on insomnia

Before bed I have an anxiety management routine of drinking ginger tea, sitting in silence, doing a mindfulness exercise from the book 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels, and then a few deep breaths, and sometimes a little journaling.

I drink ginger and turmetic tea. I go to bed early just to relax on the bed. Watch a video or anything. It helps

Im definitely more focused on getting more sleep. I generally dont like to sleep to long. Working out and drinking chamomile tea before bed. Helps me get into a deeper sleep.

Love from India my bro 🎉❤

Hi Shaan how did you get off the sleep meds? Thanks ❤

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.

I have the same problem. If I don’t get enough sleep my anxiety kicks in.

I think I'm already on the recovery journey.. but I'm still not able to sleep as much as I used to, some days almost no sleep... Does it work that way for everyone?

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!
