THE CURE

Introduction and Preparation

INTRODUCTION

Now that you have read and understood the ways in which we create and maintain insomnia, you may be starting to realise what sorts of things you are going to have to do in order to start your recovery. If so, the method is already working. But if not, do not despair. I am about to give you step-by-step instructions on how exactly to overcome your problem.

Just Make a Commitment

The Effortless Sleep Method insomnia programme consists of 12 promises, 12 commitments, not 12 cast-iron rules. Make these promises as part of an honest commitment to getting better and you become more than a rule-follower – you become responsible for creating a better life for yourself. Do not ‘obey the rules’ because someone is telling you what to do. Make the following promises because you understand the effect they will have on your sleep, and because you are fully committed to getting that sleep back to normal.

Making these promises should not be difficult. Stick to them with energy, with optimism, with dedication and feel good about it. Seen in this way, following the programme is not a hardship, it is an empowerment. You are taking control, you are taking responsibility, you are making the commitment to get over your problem.

Sleep Hygiene – The First Six Promises

Promises 1 – 6 of the Effortless Sleep Method are concerned with what experts call ‘sleep hygiene’. This is a very simple non-drug solution which is effective in almost all early cases of insomnia. Sleep hygiene is really just a common-sense set of behavioural guidelines which help to restore normal sleeping patterns. If you have transient insomnia or have never tried sleep hygiene before, you may well be astonished by the speed at which these promises can make a difference. While simple, they are tremendously powerful and implementing good sleep hygiene at an early point will almost always stop a problem from becoming chronic.

If your problem is a recent occurrence or if you are not sure what sort of insomniac you are, you will still benefit from all of the advice contained in the Effortless Sleep Method. But, it may be best to begin by following the first six guidelines alone.

For most, sticking to the first six guidelines will be all that is needed to begin sleeping well again.

Those of you with a more serious or long-term problem must follow the entire programme – including the first six promises. Don’t think you can skip the first six promises and move onto the more interesting bit! If you are a long-term chronic insomniac, you may well be very familiar with sleep hygiene rules. If this is the case, your response at this point might be ‘been there, done that, didn’t work’. But is this really true? I say this because most long-term insomniacs have, at some point, tried sleep hygiene rules, but a few sleepless nights here or there have resulted in their abandoning the whole idea. Is it actually that you believe your
