About Trevor Youngquist And Liberated Sleep

Trevor Youngquist is a Sleep coach in Washington State. He once was struggling with insomnia but overcame the struggle through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He now is a sleep coach and is helping others overcome their own problems with sleep.

ACT suggests that it is our own control-oriented reactions to the distress of insomnia that amplify the suffering caused by sleeplessness and push sleep further and further away. Sleep is a natural biological process that people struggling with insomnia quickly learn cannot be controlled by human willpower. A normal sleeper doesn’t do anything special to go to sleep. They just lay down and sleep. Someone with insomnia, however, will typically list a range of pills, evening routines, fine-tuned sleeping environments, and mind exercises they attempt in order to try to make themselves to sleep. These attempts to control insomnia to get some much-needed sleep make perfect sense. Human beings are adept problem solvers and this is a strategy that works to resolve many of the challenges in our lives. However, when it comes to sleep, these actions to try to control insomnia are the very things that fuel it and prevent you from reclaiming normal sleep.
