Ever wondered about the subtle yet significant red flags of narcissistic behaviour? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, uncovers one of the least known but impactful signs: the narcissist's peculiar sleeping patterns. Danish shares his personal experiences and those of many survivors he's spoken to, highlighting how narcissists use sleep as a manipulation tool. It's not just about being tired; it's a calculated move to avoid accountability and control their victims.
Imagine wanting to have an important conversation or share your feelings, only to find your partner conveniently asleep. It's a frustrating and isolating experience, right? Danish explains how this tactic extends to sleep deprivation, leaving victims feeling unhinged and powerless. The narcissist's erratic sleep schedule—sleeping all day and becoming active at night—mirrors the behaviour of a vampire, draining the life force from their victims through various abusive tactics. But remember, not everyone who sleeps a lot is a narcissist.
Context is crucial. Danish emphasises the importance of understanding the broader picture, as people with depression or chronic fatigue can also exhibit similar behaviours. The episode wraps up with an intriguing discussion on the spiritual aspect of this behaviour, comparing it to vampiric tendencies. Whether you're a survivor seeking validation or someone looking to understand narcissistic abuse better, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Don't miss out on this eye-opening discussion that could help you or someone you know navigate the complexities of narcissistic relationships.
