This doesn't surprise me. When I have insomnia, it is invariably caused by being aware of and worrying about the process of sleeping.


Yeah - the less I think about sleep the more likely it's going to happen. I also find that I can't care about not getting enough sleep - I used to do math in my head "ok if I fall asleep now it'll still be 4 hours" - I've learned that I can function on zero sleep for a day if I really have to, so it's no longer a threat to myself, and I don't worry about not sleeping because of it.
