Overcoming insomnia is possible for everyone. I've personally seen hundreds of people of all ages, genders, and severities get rid of insomnia, and I know it's possible for you too. Not to mention, there are millions worldwide who have done it.
In this video, I'm going to talk about how eliminating insomnia is simple but not easy. My name is Dr. Steve Orma, and I'm a clinical psychologist. For the past 10+ years, I've helped hundreds of clients around the world eliminate insomnia for good—without taking medication or wasting time.
Let's talk about why overcoming insomnia is simple.
First of all, it's accessible—anyone can do it. It's not limited by age, gender, ethnicity, or even the severity of the insomnia. Anybody can go through the process of overcoming insomnia. Secondly, it's time-efficient. It doesn’t require a lot of time, and I’ll go into more detail about this. It only requires learning four key skills, which I'll explain, to overcome insomnia.
The first phase is the initial learning process, which takes about three weeks. It requires only 1-2 hours per week to learn the skills, and that time can be spread throughout the week. After this initial phase, the ongoing maintenance only takes about 30 minutes per week. As you apply the skills and change your sleep behaviors and thoughts, your sleep will begin to improve. Each week, we reassess and adjust the skills to match your progress. This customization helps you continue improving your sleep patterns effectively.
The time it takes to apply these skills doesn’t add to your schedule because you practice them during your sleep hours—before bed and during the night. This makes the process adaptable for busy individuals, including professionals and parents with tight schedules. Even those with packed lives can manage this minimal time commitment and see results.
There are four key skills in overcoming insomnia. The first skill is tracking your sleep. You monitor your sleep patterns each morning by filling out a Sleep Log, which gives you insight into your progress.
The second skill is following a personalized sleep schedule. Using data from your Sleep Log, you create a tailored sleep schedule and stick to it consistently.
The third skill is applying the 30-30 Rule. This rule helps break the association between bed and wakefulness, allowing you to respond effectively when you experience trouble falling or staying asleep.
Finally, the fourth skill is managing your thoughts and emotions. Insomnia often triggers anxiety, frustration, or hopelessness. Learning to control your mental and emotional state is crucial to staying on track with the process.
Now, while overcoming insomnia is simple, it’s not easy.
First, it's not a quick fix. Insomnia can’t be cured with sleep hacks, pills, supplements, or gadgets. It requires a commitment to learning and applying the four skills correctly, in the right order and at the right time. Your sleep patterns will change as you apply the skills, so ongoing adjustments are essential for success.
Overcoming insomnia also demands mental resilience. You’ll need to challenge negative thoughts and trust the process, even when progress seems slow. Behavioral changes are also necessary. You need to change your sleep habits, like when you go to bed and how long you stay in bed, in order to break the cycle of insomnia.
Ultimately, while the path to overcoming insomnia requires effort and commitment, it is achievable for anyone willing to follow the process. The key is consistency and trust—stick with it, and your sleep will improve.
And last, you need to maintain a good attitude, especially when you're facing challenging nights or weeks as you're going through the process. This is challenging because when you're experiencing insomnia, you don't feel good. You're dealing with different emotions, poor nights of sleep, and difficult days afterward. You need to maintain a good attitude because if you get pulled into negativity, anxiety, or frustration, it keeps you stuck in that cycle. Learning how to maintain and shift your attitude, which is part of the skill of managing your thoughts and emotions, is critical to overcoming insomnia.
Another important point to be aware of is that the path to success with insomnia is nonlinear. This means it’s not a straight line where every day you're improving. No change in the human body happens that way, whether it’s losing weight, working out, or gaining muscle. The path to eliminating insomnia is the same.
There’s usually initial progress when applying new skills, but you will face challenges along the way. You'll take two steps forward and one step back. There will be good nights followed by poor ones, and that is normal. This happened to me when I overcame insomnia, and it's essential to understand this to avoid worrying when setbacks occur.
The goal is overall improvement over time, even if there are ups and downs along the way. The overall progression should be forward until the insomnia is gone and you're experiencing solid, consistent, healthy sleep. Though overcoming insomnia may not be easy, the rewards are significant.
First, your sleep quality will improve. You'll eliminate insomnia and establish a consistent, restful sleep pattern that will last a lifetime.
Next, your overall health will improve. With full nights of sleep, your body and brain will be fully restored, leading to better physical and mental health. You’ll have a stronger immune system and feel better emotionally and physically.
Long-term benefits include knowing how to prevent insomnia from returning, as relapse prevention is part of this process.
You’ll also gain independence by getting off sleep medications or other substances, like CBD or THC, if you’re using them for sleep.
There’s also personal growth and well-being. Insomnia affects more than just physical health—it impacts how we feel about ourselves and our ability to function in life. As you go through this process, you’ll develop sleep confidence, restoring your trust in your body’s ability to sleep well.
You’ll feel better emotionally, as improved sleep leads to better mood, energy, and overall life satisfaction. In fact, this process is considered the gold standard treatment for insomnia and has been shown to reduce depression by 50%.
Finally, you’ll get your life back. You’ll no longer need to plan your life around insomnia or feel constantly drained during the day. Instead, sleep will become something you can count on, allowing you to enjoy your life and function optimally.
