When we have insomnia, we often try many things to sleep better, spending time, energy, and money on different quick fixes and methods we hear should work.

When these methods don't work, it can make us feel hopeless, thinking we might never get rid of insomnia.

We might then try even harder to sleep, but this only makes us worry more about our insomnia.

Some advice on the internet about how to sleep better (yes, I am looking at you, sleep hygiene) can make things worse for people with ongoing insomnia.

Advice like having the perfect bedroom, stopping drinks hours before bed, no alcohol, or avoiding blue light doesn't address the main problem (sleep anxiety), and it can be confusing and disappointing when it doesn't help us sleep better.

Sometimes, we think that what we do to try to sleep will make us sleep.

But that's not true.
