Happy Insomnia
You have been tossing and turning now for an hour in your bed. It seems like eternities since you turned off the lights to go to sleep.
Well friend, here is this strangest thought; lying there in bed unable to sleep is not necessarily a bad thing!! Lots of people would love to have the luxury of just lying there in bed and luxuriating in the comfortable mattress and cover. It's the worry of tomorrow that gets us down and robs from us the ability to enjoy our relaxing in bed.
Now, the truth be told, worrying about falling asleep will not make it happen. If anything at all, it will only prevent us from falling asleep because we will be all tensed up. So this worry and tension not only is counterproductive and counteracts the body's natural sleep mechanisms, it withholds a legitimate pleasure from us - one of the few insomniacs can lay claim to - the please of rolling around in the comfort of your own bed.
Why does this happen? Well, we really are concerned about tomorrow, and there may indeed be cause for worry. But counterintuitive as it may seem, there is no rational reason to worry, for it can bring no tangible good. It can however, do a world of bad, which is not something we would necessarily want.
The upshot of this all is that although the natural feeling is to worry about the fact that I cannot fall asleep, recognizing as I do the folly of that worry, I ought to do all I can to allay, disavow, negate and ignore that silly worry. I ought to use every trick in the book to put it out of my mind, for I want to enjoy my time in bed, and if I cannot sleep – at least allow me the pleasure of deep relaxation against the pillows thinking pleasant thoughts.
In fact, if I enjoy it enough and often, I may come to appreciate my insomnia and the pleasant hours it bestows upon me. The results – tiredness and sleep-deprivation – are never pleasant, but at least the night will have been a pleasant one, and that is all profit.
What's more, I suspect that the enjoyable resting in your bed – that fun experience – will leave you and I more energized and relaxed for the day to come.
Usually appreciating something comes about because we want to do so. That must sound dogmatic, like that I'm saying that it's all an act of will. I am not suggesting that at all. I am saying that we can pick and choose which facets of an event we will focus our spotlight on and remember, and our focus tends to determine our interpretation of if the sleepless night was a happy time or a miserable one.
I have also found that much boils down to a simple paradigm switch; I was on the bus today getting thrown from side to side by the movement of the bus, and I was dog-tired and really hated being stuck in such an uncomfortable position. I was feeling frustrated and trapped. Suddenly I thought to myself "How pleasant, I can lean back on my seat here and just relax. No driving for me to do – I can just let go! Let me enjoy the movement as I sway from side to side – it's a great feeling. After all people pay good money for a swing set which gives them a most similar experience." And you know what? The second – the very second – I had put his thought into my mind and began to stretch out on the seat and relax, I felt absolutely great. The bus had not changed, but I had. And that's all that really matters.
This skill is called reframing, and can completely change your life. How do you develop the skill? Same way you learned to ride a bicycle; by trying and failing and trying again until you got the hang of it!
So to recap; insomnia is really a lot of great fun, if we only put our minds to it. And if we ignore the nagging worry of "what will be?!" and are smart enough to focus on enjoying the process. And that, my friend, is the name of the game!

Happy Insomnia ?
I love this post. I often have difficulty going to sleep after waking in the night.
It makes sense to try to reframe this.
Unfortunately now I am worried about it working rather then worrying about if I will sleep.
