Former Insomniac by End Insomnia

By: Ivo H.K.
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Former Insomniac with Ivo H.K., founder at End Insomnia. After suffering from insomnia for 5 brutal years and trying "everything" to fix it, I developed a new approach targeting the root cause of insomnia: sleep anxiety (or the fear of sleeplessness). In this podcast, I talk about the End Insomnia System and I share tips, learnings, and insights from overcoming insomnia and tell the stories of people who did so you can apply the principles to end insomnia for good, too.

  • How Long Does Insomnia Recovery Take?
    Apr 26 2025

    Insomnia doesn’t happen overnight.

    It starts with worry about sleep, behaviors that don’t help, and a nervous system that’s too alert.

    These things build slowly over time. So, fixing insomnia also doesn’t happen overnight.

    Getting better sleep takes patience and practice.

    The End Insomnia System isn’t a quick fix like taking a sleeping pill.

    Instead, it helps you gradually change the habits and thoughts you’ve developed during your time as an insomniac.

    You learn to calm your anxiety about sleep and better manage rough nights.

    The journey involves ups and downs, but it leads to normal, lasting sleep.

    It takes time and dedication, but it’s worth it to be free from insomnia for the rest of your life.

  • The "Gold Standard" For Insomnia
    Apr 19 2025

    CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia) is often called the "gold standard" for treating insomnia.

    However, while CBT-i does help some people, others find that it doesn’t fully resolve their sleep issues.

    I was one of them, and so are most of our clients.

    Sleep Education in CBT-i

    CBT-i starts by teaching people about sleep.

    This helps you understand why you might have trouble sleeping and corrects some false beliefs.

    Sleep education usually includes tips like:

    • Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet.
    • Avoid screens and blue light before bedtime.
    • Avoid drinking coffee or eating heavy meals close to bedtime.
    • Have a calming bedtime routine.
    • Exercise during the day.
    • Get sunlight in the morning.
    • Stop liquids 4 hours before bed.

    These tips can presumably help set the right conditions for sleep.

    But some people become too strict about these rules.

  • How to Stop Trying Too Hard to Sleep
    Apr 12 2025

    You might remember times when you did something special, and it felt like it helped you sleep.

    Maybe you took a pill, did a bedtime ritual, or tried a particular trick, and slept better.

    When you struggle with insomnia, you might think these things will help again.

    But the truth is, you can't force yourself to sleep.

    Sleep happens naturally because of two main forces.

    One helps your body fall asleep (sleep drive), and the other can stop sleep from happening (anxiety or feeling too awake).

    These are the only things that control your sleep.
