Fearless Sleep Podcast

Alina runs a smaller, newer podcast that takes a psychological approach to insomnia recovery, and it fills a specific gap that bigger shows don't cover well. Instead of giving you something to fall asleep to, Fearless Sleep focuses on why you've developed fear around sleep in the first place and how to dismantle that fear piece by piece. With just 18 episodes so far, the catalog is compact but deliberately structured. Topics include understanding why you still think about insomnia even after your sleep improves, the four core elements of insomnia recovery, how to actually sit with anxiety instead of fighting it, and how to read self-help books during recovery without making things worse. That last topic is surprisingly practical and not covered by anyone else. Alina speaks from personal experience overcoming chronic insomnia, not from a clinical background, which gives the show a peer-to-peer feel rather than a doctor-patient dynamic. Episodes range from 3-minute check-ins to 50-minute deep conversations with other insomnia coaches. The 5.0-star rating comes from only 3 reviews, so the sample size is tiny, but the content quality is genuine. If your insomnia has become tangled up with sleep anxiety and you've already tried the standard sleep hygiene advice without success, Alina's perspective on breaking the anxiety cycle is refreshingly specific and honest.
