When you say your insomnia isn’t affecting your life, but you’ve started conducting therapy sessions with your dog. 😂🐶

In all seriousness, insomnia can affect a lot more than just your nights. It can impact your mood, concentration, patience, and how you feel throughout the day.

And sometimes we don’t realize just how much it’s affecting us until we start sleeping better.

Send this to someone who could use a laugh after a rough night of sleep.

Have you ever suddenly realized you haven’t though

Have you ever suddenly realized you haven’t thought about your pain for a while? 🧠

Maybe you were working, laughing with friends, exercising, or completely absorbed in something you enjoy.

Those moments matter.

Pain is influenced not only by what’s happening in the body, but also by what the brain is paying attention to. When your attention is captured by life instead of constantly monitoring symptoms, pain can sometimes become quieter. 💙

The goal isn’t to try not to think about pain. It’s to spend more time engaged in the people, activities, and experiences that matter to you.

When was the last time you realized you’d forgotten about your pain for a little while?

👻 Nightmares can be terrifying, but here’s something many people don’t realize: they’re treatable.

You don’t have to keep reliving the same frightening dream night after night.

Treatments like Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) can help change recurring nightmares by giving your brain a different storyline to practice while you’re awake.

And the best part? You don’t even have to make the new ending realistic. 💭

Did you know you could actually work on changing your nightmares? Follow for more evidence-based sleep advice.

Going to bed sounds so good... until you actually

Going to bed sounds so good... until you actually get into bed. 🎃😴

If you struggle with insomnia, you might know this feeling all too well.

You spend the day looking forward to finally getting some sleep. But once you’re in bed, your brain switches on.

What if I can’t sleep again? How many hours do I have left? Am I even sleepy enough?

Over time, your brain can start associating bed with being awake, worrying, and trying to sleep rather than actually sleeping.

The good news? You can change that association.

One place to start is by keeping a consistent wake time and going to bed when you’re actually sleepy.
