My story

My Mornings Today

I wake up from a deep sleep. Soft sunlight filters through the blinds. The bed is warm and cozy, and I’m snuggled up under the covers, all the way to my nose. I stretch contentedly and smile. I slept through the whole night. It felt as though I had just closed my eyes — and now it’s morning. I feel fresh and rested, and as I get out of bed, I dive into my daily tasks with energy and joy.

But this peaceful morning didn’t come by accident — it was the result of learning and working on myself..

My Mornings Back Then

Some time ago, my mornings looked completely different. My days started while it was still dark outside. The glow of the streetlamps slipped through the blinds as I lay there wondering if I had slept at all. Judging by the feeling in my body — probably not. I was too exhausted to move. My heart would start racing again, and my mind would spiral like a storm, flooding me with thoughts I couldn’t stop.

Bolo mi zle. Z postele som sa ledva pozviechala, hlava sa mi točila a do očí sa mi tisli slzy. Zas ďalšia noc bez spánku! Koľká v poradí?? Prečo sa mi toto deje? Čo som komu spravila, že mi nie je dopriaty spánok? Dokedy toto ešte vydržím? Slzy mi už tiekli potokom po lícach. Zvalila som sa na sedačku v obývačke a nechala priechod mojim emóciám. Koľko voľnopredajných liekov na spanie som už skúsila, u koľkého lekára či psychiatra som už bola, koľko liekov na predpis som dostala, koľko zaručených tipov a trikov na spánok som už vyskúšala a nič na svete mi nezaručilo, že zaspím. Som v tom úplne sama. Nikto ma nevie pochopiť. Za 8 rokov som nestretla jedinú osobu, ktorá by mala rovnaký problém ako ja. Som divná. Cítim zúfalstvo a beznádej, ak vôbec môže telo tak dlho obraté o spánok cítiť. Nespím bez zjavnej príčiny, nikto mi nevie odpovedať na moju otázku. Prečo nespím, čo sa so mnou deje. <br

Turning point

Things only began to change when I discovered a new perspective on insomnia. Did you know that there is no quick fix? That’s because sleep is a passive process — just like digestion or breathing. Anything you actively do to try to make yourself sleep won’t work. Sleep cannot be controlled. We can’t just decide, “I’m going to fall asleep now.” Instead, we need to change our approach, especially in our mind. Realizing that it was my fear of another sleepless night — and all the possible consequences — that was keeping me from falling asleep peacefully was my turning point. But I still had a lot to learn. After I overcame insomnia and realized I wasn’t alone — that people around the world struggle with the same issue — I found deep joy and fulfillment in helping others. I began showing them insomnia from a whole new angle.

You too can stop fighting insomnia — for good!
