When Sleep Becomes a Battlefield
You're lying in bed at 3 AM, wide awake. Again. Your mind races through tomorrow's to-do list while you mentally calculate the dwindling hours until your alarm goes off. Sound familiar? One in three people will face this battle at some point in their lives, and for 10% of adults, it becomes a nightly war. Here's the cruel irony: the harder you fight for sleep-sleeping in on weekends, chugging extra coffee, forcing yourself to stay in bed-the more elusive it becomes. This approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), creating what researchers call the "sweet spot"-strict enough to work, flexible enough to live with. It's about working with your body's natural rhythms rather than against them, transforming your relationship with sleep from an exhausting struggle into a sustainable partnership.
