Not surprising she suffered with trouble sleeping as she mentioned she had anxiety her whole life. Over 50% of GAD sufferers suffer with trouble sleeping, this is why your channel is so important. I manage my GAD with medication but I still come to this channel most days for support and general optimism.
DANIEL, please talk more about this. I would love to heal my fear of losing control, and allowing sleep to happen, no matter how much I fear unconsciousness, and have severe hyper arousal. I am so exhausted 😭 your content helps. I have to continue to let go and learn.
I will Scarlett. Hang in there, just thinking “I have to continue to let go” IS letting go... hope you can do something nice for yourself this weekend even with the exhaustion
So nice that you’re sharing, I’m sure it will help a lot of people 💕 and yes! Acceptance is the only way to break the mind’s pattern of fear, otherwise you are feeding it and making it more real. Proud of you girl! 💗💗💗
Also I think you encouraging us to look at the root of our anxiety is so key… I was afraid of losing control, possibly dying or going crazy from lack of sleep. Listening to and addressing each of these was paramount. Great insight!
I also am experiencing this! It’s so debilitating. Like Marina, I also have somniphobia, however mine is more related to fear of being unconscious, the fear of “not existing” for several hours. Like I’m not able to see, hear or use my senses. That’s what makes me fear sleep. So maybe it’s an existential-based anxiety focused on sleep? And then sleep becomes an obsession and triggers some OCD tendencies. I’ve had this several times before during pretty bad episodes of anxiety and depression and when I started an antidepressant it would go away. Presently I am experiencing this due to me having gone off my antidepressant. I restarted but the medication hasn’t fully kicked in and my somniphobia is present. I’m hoping it goes away soon. Thank you so much for bringing awareness to this phobia which many don’t understand!
@@katiekummer26 Hello! A little bit. I’ve noticed that it has been reduced to daytime sleeping, or when the sun is up. At night I don’t really have the issue that much anymore. It’s really bizarre.
Hey beautiful thanks for talking about it this will definitely help a lot of ppl to overcome this fear... More power to you gal... Stay strong... Love n light to you ❤😘
Hello, Dr. I can kinda relate to what Marina was going through. I too feared sleep and the feeling of being out of control but I also understood how important It is. My problem with sleeping began as recently as 2.5 weeks ago. It began with a fear that I wasn't going to get any sleep as the previous 2 days weren't great and in the previous 2 weeks I was woken up by in house activities a few too many times. That Sunday I only managed 2 hours and I told myself I wasn't going to have another bad night. The following night I took some zzquil and fell to sleep just fine. The following day however that fear returned and it got considerably worse once I read about SFI. I was now convinced that is what I had and although I had some days of long but very broken sleep over these last two and a half weeks (sometimes waking up after every 1-2 hours), I've had more little to no sleepless nights than I've ever had before. I've spoken to my family doctor multiple times and he provided an anti-depressant used to treat insomnia (trazadone) but it doesn't always work. Everyone I've spoken about it chalks it up to anxiety. It seems to the most rational explanation considering that the fear of not getting any sleep has manifested to believing I have a fatal disease to people worrying about me to this not being normal for me to how I need to fall to sleep as quickly as possible in order to avoid being possibly woken up by someone in the house, etc, etc. What concerns me most however is now I sometimes experience twitches or a jolt when I get a vivid image in my head, almost like my heart stopping as if I'm sneezing, as well as very vivid dreams once I do fall to sleep. Over the last 6 or so months I would occasionally experience a hypnic jerk and say to myself "wtf was that?" but ignored it and eventually fell to sleep soon after. However, after reading about these "jolts" being a symptom of people who heavily struggle or even lose the ability to sleep such as with FFI, I've become terrified since I'm not overly sure what exactly this sensation is or if I've experienced it before but just thought nothing of it. I've watched your video about SFI/FFI and some more about general insomnia. I'm however still very concerned about this and am hoping you may be able to shed some light on what I am experiencing and if I have anything to worry about. I've never had a problem sleeping that has lasted longer than a night or two.
Hi! Thanks for sharing and you know, this is a longer comment soo feel free tosend a question for open class from the link on the website! There’s a playlist on fatal insomnia in the description too!
I'm going through the exact same thing right now. It's anxiety, trust me. Mine started 3 weeks ago but I've also been on sleeping pills for a long time. Please don't go down that route.

Thank you marina I recognize Only difference am not tired at all And I recognize the fighting I don’t want To accept what going on trying to be in controle doing all the effort stuff Like you say the accepting is also difficult because my thought believe That if I accept I will never sleep again ! Thank you Daniel and marina for this video ❤️
This really helped me.. Last night I decided to be kind to myself as I was falling asleep and kept waking up. I just say HI Sleep, Hi jerks.. You are welcome here... I also put myself in a good state before bed by watching funny things...and I fell beautifully asleep :) I hope to be able to do it again. But this acceptance part.. it's a big big big part of all our healing. Thank you for sharing Marina!
@@manfredkohnen7479 Hi Manfred, I'm glad you could relate to it and know you are not alone in this. You can message me on instagram marinnaarina if you want. If you don't have instagram you can send me an email mdefeij@hotmail.com. Take care!
This happened to me! Randomly once in awhile I would get scared to die in my sleep but would get over it. One night my body felt extremely heavy (idk why) and I didn’t want to sleep. Then I went 2 days with no sleep and also developed this hyperawareness of sleep and then hyperawareness of breathing. Now I’m kind of stuck with these things and trying to overcome them. I think it is fear of loss of control.
Hi VK and PA! You know, I think to answer this we have to talk about what insomnia is and what helps. We all have a safety system in our brains. This safety system works perfect when we are faced with a tangible, physical threat like a grizzly bear. We become frightened. We either fight or flight. We either scare it away or we hide. Either way the outcome is good. We survive! When it comes to insomnia, things are different. Because sleeplessness is not a tangible threat but it is a perceived threat. Being awake cannot actually hurt you, but it can feel very scary. And to the mind, it doesn’t really make any difference - a threat is a threat as far as It is concerned. So it always deploys the same strategy of fight or flight. The problem is, you cannot escape or fight a perceived threat. When you do, it doesn’t work. And then it seems like the threat is bigger than you initially thought. That makes your brain deploy even more fight or flight. Then the threat seems even larger and on and on it goes. In other words, the more you try to escape or avoid a perceived threat, the more it will trouble you. In other words, the more you try to escape wakefulness, the more wakefulness you will have. So using a weighted blanket to sleep more or escape being awake, that leads to insomnia! Using one just because you feel like it, that’s another story. That’s totally harmless 👍
@@thesleepcoachschool8192 This makes a lot of sense. My difficulty with falling asleep is linked with a fear of depression. I read that insomniacs are 10x more likely to get depression than normal sleepers. Could you maybe give some more insight on that? Like why I shouldn't worry about that.
Hang in there Abishek, I’d say the key insight to me is that it’s just like any other fear… when we try to make ourselves not scared, when we try to avoid, it gets amplified… when we deploy education, when we no longer think it’s odd, when we don’t try to escape but accept feelings… then things get easier
@@lilshake139 I’d say as long as someone shares what aspect of sleep/not sleeping they’ve been scared about, the coaches can definitely contextualize all the teachings so they make sense.
Hi,Daniel) My question is about window sleep....if my window sleep is 6 hours,but in this time I sleep for example only 2 hours...should I continue?... Thanks)
Hi! How do you know it’s been two hours? My point - everything is easier without pressure. When we don’t know the time, there’s naturally less control, so I think this timeless sleep window helps more than that right sleep restriction of traditional CBTi. Let’s take a look! The timeless sleep window is really there simply as a nudge towards less attachment. It is a way to sort of make yourself try less and let go of attempts at controlling sleep. There is often confusion about the main purpose. In traditional CBT there’s a lot of emphasis on making yourself stay awake for a long time so you feel sleepy. It is true that sleep drive is important, but anything you do to make yourself sleep becomes an effort! This includes making yourself stay up late! Remember, insomnia is not a problem of not being sleepy, it is a problem of trying too much to sleep. So the way to think of the sleep window is that it is simply a nudge in the direction of trying less. When you give yourself less time for sleep, and you no longer know the time at night, these again are important psychological steps towards trying less, being willing to have less control. What exact time you get up or what exact time you go to bed doesn’t really matter! What does matter is not focusing too much on the time. It’s also important to set it and forget it. Decide upon sometime and then don’t question it. This will free your mind to think about more pleasant things! In fact what also helps a lot is not knowing the time at night. Deciding what time to get up in the morning and then making a decision to stop checking the time at a certain time in the evening. Not knowing the time is a very powerful way of letting go of control! Finally, I think it’s important to be generous and to go a gentle path of no pressure. Is very tempting to say that you will have a very narrow sleep window so that you feel really sleepy and then you reach your goal faster. But that’s a way of pressure! Think about when people try to lose weight. The reason most people don’t do well is because they choose an extreme diet that they can’t stick to for more than a few weeks. It’s the same with sleep windows. Many people choose a really tight window and then they become frustrated and pressured because it’s not something they can do forever. If someone decides not to do a diet but rather change their lifestyle to something they can do forever, then there’s no pressure! Then they lose weight easily. If you choose a sleep window that’s for example 7 or 8 hours, that’s pretty close to what most people do anyway so you can do that indefinitely. That’s the way
@@thesleepcoachschool8192 Thank you so much,Daniel!!! I will try to practice it all) and wish a good luck all people,that are making the same journey:)
hi Coach am suffering this same phobia now am 4 months pregnant couldnt sleep. Whn i go to the bed am thinking about cant fall in sleep and anxiety wht can I do? Am worrying about my bby too😥
I'm also going through somniphobia/severe sleep anxiety and am also 4 months pregnant. It started when I went through a period of not being able to fall asleep at all a few months ago. It is hell. I wish it would go away 😢
hey there, do you have any other videos on somniphobia? mine left me to struggle with insomnia. but I am working on accepting it and letting my thoughts sit there. however, the somniphobia is more difficult; I get tired and sleepy, I want to sleep, then I start to begin the process of falling asleep and I try to tell myself “this is good” or “this is normal” or even “I can’t control this” and it’s still not helping much. any advice or videos on this?

@@thesleepcoachschool8192 Hi Daniel/Marina if you're reading this, how did you deal with extreme sleepiness/tiredness when you were going through Somniphobia? I'm struggling a lot with this. My body feels extremely tired and sleepy and I just want to get some sleep, but I can't because my mind is scared about the uncertainty of sleep and I'm not able to let go of control and simply relax. This is affecting me very badly. So much so that now I'm scared of feeling sleepy itself. It's a tough battle between my mind and body. Have you got any advice for this?
Hi Jarl, this is basically what every single video here is about! Education helps, self-kindness helps, hearing other people’s stories help. Ultimately, seeing that it is very natural to fear loss of control, but that loss of control/sleep cannot harm you, I think that’s a big one.
