About this episode

Overcoming Rebound Insomnia: Reducing Sleep Medication Safely In this episode of Insomnia Insight, Coach Daniel explains the difference between rebound sleep disruption and rebound insomnia. He discusses how removing sedatives can lead to a surge in nervous system activity, often mistaken for insomnia. Daniel emphasizes that insomnia stems from mislabeling wakefulness as a threat and provides insights on overcoming the fear of rebound insomnia by understanding its mechanisms. This episode aims to help improve sleep quality for those reducing or stopping sleep medications.
