For me, a big turning point came when I was able to see setbacks as temporary instead of a sign that I was descending back into insomnia. I don't quite know how I did it...I just didn't worry about them anymore and gradually they got less frequent and less intense. I think that's the key; to expect the setbacks and deal with them without relapsing into negative thinking. I still have periods of days when I don't sleep well...I just know they will pass so I don't get worked up about them.
