#185 - Insomnia Resolutions: Seeing My Past to Let It Go

This week on the Sleep Unplugged podcast, we are looking at sleep resolutions made for the new year and why they often fail. In this episode, we present six insomnia resolutions that don’t ask you to “try harder” — because insomnia isn’t a motivation problem, a discipline problem, or a character flaw. In this episode we will:Reframe why New Year’s sleep resolutions failThink about insomnia as a brain trained to stay alert and how that reshapes our insomnia therapy goalsDiscuss how CBT-I actually retrains the brain (not willpower) and how it fits in with the way we view insomnia therapyLearn why fixing insomnia requires better systems, better language, and better care, and not more effortUnderstand why insomnia can be tough to fix aloneProduced by: Maeve WinterMusic by: Dr. Abhinav Singh (@sleep_vigilante), all rights reservedMoreTwitter: @drchriswinterIG: @drchriwinterThreads: @drchriswinterBluesky: @drchriswinterThe Sleep Solution and The Rested ChildThanks for listening and sleep well!
