Jennifer struggled with insomnia and felt discouraged after working with a sleep coach for four weeks with no improvement in her sleep. However, she did not give up and persevered with implementing techniques to build sleep drive, strengthen her body clock, and lower her arousal. Although she still found it challenging to fall back to sleep when waking up at night, Jennifer noticed that she was experiencing less daytime fatigue and her sleep was improving.

Throughout her journey, Jennifer changed her response to sleep-related thoughts and behaviors, which not only helped her sleep but also improved her quality of life. In this episode, she shares how she coped with setbacks by focusing on the process instead of progress and how she stopped striving for sleep, putting effort into sleep, and worrying about sleep.
