【What happens/ed when I have/d insomnia — how I’ve come to see insomnia in a positive light】
There are articles out there like this one, which enumerates and elaborates on the causes behind insomnia and systematic and science-backed ways to relieve or cure it.
This is not one of them.
The purposes of this piece of writing are simple — to document the pain insomniacs suffer, and to compare and contrast how I used to combat insomnia and how I do so now.
This article is written in the hope that it will empower those who suffer just as I have done to understand this:
There are simple ways to put insomnia into the right perspectives, and when this is done, sleeplessness doesn’t have to feel as debilitating as it could.
=== 𝐖hat used to happen when I had insomnia ===
I used to dread having insomnia like I dreaded having my period.

I felt forced to deal with all the thoughts racing in my head alone when my partner was asleep.
I felt grumpy that I needed to slow down and quieten down any movements I make so as not to wake my partner up.
One part of me feared waking my partner up, the other part of me wanted to wake him up so that he would have to suffer this together with me.
Because the insomniac in me hated him for being able to fall asleep so much more easily than me.
It wasn’t until around half a year ago when it dawned on me that one of the best ways to relieve insomnia is actually to stop obsessing. It dawned on me that dreading insomnia doesn’t make it go away. When this realization hit me, insomnia suddenly stopped feeling so scary. Almost magically, this paradigm shift has caused me to have had so much fewer bad nights since.
=== 𝐖hat I found out about how to cope with insomnia ===
I found out that one of the best ways to battle insomnia is to stop obsessing over having this problem itself.
When you stop TRYING so hard to fall asleep, sleep comes to you.
“Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.”
― Henry David Thoreau
This applies to sleep too. The less you’re bothered by your temporary inability to sleep, the less you’ll be affected by it.
Now, these are what I do whenever I come to be faced with insomnia these days.
