How to Get More Sleep After Infidelity with Yana Vriesinga

Sleep struggles are one of the most common and painful side effects after betrayal. I know firsthand how exhausting it can feel to lie awake night after night—your mind racing, your body restless, and your heart heavy with unanswered questions. In this episode, I sit down with certified sleep coach Yana Vriesinga, who not only brings professional expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia but also personal experience of navigating sleepless nights after infidelity.


Yana shares her journey of turning her own struggle into a calling to help others, and she gives us practical, compassionate tools to reclaim restful nights. Together, we talk about why sleep matters so deeply in the healing process, the three "dials" you can adjust to improve your sleep, and how to shift from anxious, perfectionistic thinking into gentle, supportive habits that allow your body to rest.


If you've been battling insomnia after betrayal, this episode is for you. Healing is possible—and peaceful sleep can return.


Takeaways:

  • Why insomnia is so common after infidelity
  • The three dials that influence healthy sleep
  • How to calm nighttime anxiety and surrender to rest
  • Practical habits to gently reset your sleep rhythm
