How we Leave the Sleep Struggle for Good (Mining in The Comments #71)

What does it really mean to leave the sleep struggle for good?

In Mining the Comments, Daniel breaks down a powerful insight shared by Linnea, a member of our community. Her comment captures a major breakthrough in understanding what “leaving the struggle” truly means when it comes to insomnia, anxiety, and difficult nights.

Rather than perfect sleep or never feeling anxious, leaving the struggle is about changing how we respond to choppy nights, tired days, and anxious thoughts. Linnea realized that when we stop trying to control sleep and stop reacting to every setback, the struggle itself begins to fade.

You’ll learn:

Why leaving the struggle does not mean perfect sleep every night

How acceptance interrupts the cycle of insomnia and anxiety

What Daniel means by “immunity” to sleep struggles

How over-efforting, monitoring, and safety behaviors keep sleep problems going

Why peace of mind comes from letting go, not fixing

This conversation is filled with hope, clarity, and encouragement for anyone navigating insomnia or sleep anxiety.
