    In this episode of Insomnia Insight, Coach Daniel explores one of the most powerful tools for ending the insomnia–anxiety loop: the pause button. If you've found yourself stuck in a cycle of poor sleep, stress, and constant worry about both, this episode will bring clarity. Coach Daniel explains how insomnia and anxiety aren't cycles by themselves—they become cycles when we respond to normal experiences (like a choppy night or a worried thought) with efforts to control, prevent, or suppress them. And paradoxically, it's that very effort that keeps the struggle going. Inspired by a conversation inside the Insomnia Immunity Program, Coach Daniel breaks down: Why a single night of poor sleep or a moment of anxiety isn't a cycle How our automatic attempts to fix or stop discomfort actually create the loop What the “pause button” really is and why it changes everything How simply observing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors opens the door to a new option Why non-response (acceptance, floating, befriending) allows the cycle to fade on its own How peaceful sleep returns when effort and control fall away If you're new here and curious to learn more, our FREE video course, The Festival of Understanding, is the perfect place to start.

From there, he explores why these struggles can shift themes, why some people are more prone to them, and why none of this means anything is “wrong” with your brain.-- If you're new here and curious to learn more, our FREE video course, The Festival of Understanding, is the perfect place to start.

After a long period of suppressed emotional stress, his nervous system became stuck in hypervigilance, eventually leading to burnout and severe sleep disruption. Damien describes trying many “fixes”—from sleep aids to strict CBT-I rules—that only increased pressure and kept the struggle going. His recovery began when he paired deeper inner work with a psychotherapist and the gentle, non-controlling approach taught at The Sleep Coach School.
