Insomnia for a decade. Now I sleep. It wasn't one trick, it was six boring ones.

One Year Helping
A full year of showing up for strangers.
Ten years of 1am replays. I'd argue with people from 2013 in my head until 3.
A written 'parking list' at 9pm — every open loop on paper, so my brain stopped rehearsing them for safekeeping. Then a fixed wake time, even after bad nights. That's the one nobody wants to hear.
Getting out of bed after 20 minutes awake feels insane and it is the single thing that broke the cycle.
Only from members this person actually helped.
“No miracle promises, just six boring things that worked. I'm sleeping through most nights now.”
