Anxiety and sleep: a conversation that changes the routine Astana Timur sees people who arrive with a single sentence: "nothing seems to have happened, but I cannot sleep." He does not look for hidden drama there and does not rush to a diagnosis — first he maps the day: where the tension sits, what gets postponed, where the twenty-four hours start running off plan. He says honestly that therapy is not a pill: the first changes usually appear after a few weeks, and they rarely look like "it is all gone". What does stay are the skills a person acquires. In his materials for the site he covers anxiety, sleep and asking for help.
