Do you suffer from insomnia? While occasional insomnia affects nearly 50% of adults, an estimated 10% of adults suffer from chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia lasts 3 days a week or more and for at least 3 months. In this episode, I chat with Katelin Gates, a registered nurse and insomnia coach.
Katelin shares her 30-year struggle with chronic insomnia, and how she finally found how to get a good night’s sleep consistently. She tried pretty much everything under the sun, nothing seemed to work until she learned a technique that she shares in this episode.
Katelin talks about the influence of fear on our brains, and how reactions to sleeplessness can create a vicious cycle of being unable to sleep. She shares how to “trick” your brain into thinking everything is ok, and why this helps us get the sleep we need.
