There is no set timeline for insomnia recovery. I wish I could give you one. Some people may recover in weeks, and others may recover over the course of several months. Having a set timeline in mind can actually create expectations that if not met lead to feelings of failure – all of which we want to avoid. This is something I discuss with my clients, along with how they are measuring progress, to make sure they don’t (unintentionally) impede their recovery by adding unnecessary pressure. When it comes to insomnia recovery, it’s best to release time pressure and acknowledge yourself every step of the way.
