This idea of learning not to be anxious about insomnia is what CBT-I is all about. A lot of insomniacs are such because they worry about not sleeping, which keeps them awake.

A lot of sleep anxiety can also be the result of generalized anxiety disorder, so it's worth considering therapy and/or medication.

There can be a lot of reasons for insomnia that aren't primary insomnia.
