Stuck in Sleepless Nights? Commit for 7 Days and Win a Free Session

One in three adults struggles with insomnia or poor sleep.You’d think that would be enough to make people do anything for change.

But here’s what I’ve seen over and over — most people don’t actually want to commit.They want to talk about it. Think about it. Pay for a program. But the moment the work gets hard, repetitive, or inconvenient — they’re out.

Not because they can’t get better. But because they stop before they even start.

Sharon: Genuinely Selfless… and a Sleep Pill Addict

Sharon is the kind of woman everyone loves.She’s got a full-time job, makes time for her family on weekends, and checks in on her elderly neighbors like clockwork.She’s the type to drop off soup, run someone’s errands, and still bring a smile to the group chat.

Genuinely selfless — and completely hooked on sleep meds.

Here’s what her nights looked like:

• 6 PM: One gummy to “wind down” after work.

• 9 PM: Sleeping pill #1 — fingers crossed.

• 10 PM: Sleeping pill #2, “just in case.”

• 3 AM: Half a pill, because the others didn’t hold her.

She hated it. She said she wanted out.She paid for coaching. Showed up every week. Said all the right things.

But when I asked her to commit to even the smallest thing — choosing one bedtime, sticking to one dosage, waking up at the same time, skipping the 3AM top-up — it barely lasted two days.Every week she’d say, “It didn’t really work” or “I forgot,” or “I was just too tired to care.”

Here’s the thing:Sharon wasn’t failing because nothing helped.She was failing because she wouldn’t commit.

And like many people, she stayed stuck in victim mode —the place where you get to say “I’ve tried everything,”without actually doing the one thing that matters most: follow-through.

Let’s Talk About the 92%

You ready for this?Research shows that 92% of people fail to follow through on long-term goals.Not because they’re lazy.Not because they don’t want it.

Because it gets hard.Because it takes time.Because real change often feels boring, uncomfortable, or invisible… until it doesn’t.

That’s the part most people skip.They jump from one fix to the next without ever fully committing to the process.

Colonel Sanders and the Bucket of Truth

You’ve heard of KFC, right?But did you know Colonel Sanders didn’t hit success until his 60s —after his chicken recipe got rejected by over 300 restaurants?

Most people would’ve quit after 10. Or 50.But Sanders kept going because he believed in what he had.

you don’t get a global franchise — or a good night’s sleep — by giving up every time it gets uncomfortable. That’s commitment. That’s what real change is built on.

Meira: The One Who Faced It All

Then there’s Meira.She came in just as exhausted, stuck, and overwhelmed as Sharon.Except she made a decision: this time, she was going all in.

Some sessions, she cried her way through.Faced ugly truths. Childhood trauma. Deep shame.It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t pretty.

But she showed up.Every. Single. Day.

She followed through — even when it felt like nothing was happening.Even when she was tired, frustrated, or tempted to give up.

By the end, she said:

“I would never go back to a life before insomnia. I’m not just sleeping better — I’m a different person.”

That’s what commitment does.Not magic. Not motivation.Just the decision to keep showing up, no matter what.
