Why You Get Poor Sleep In the First Place
You're not lazy. You're not broken. There's a real reason your body won't shut off at night — and it has nothing to do with willpower.
Between work, bills, and taking care of the people you love — your body is stuck in "fight or flight" mode all day. By the time you get to bed, your brain is still running at full speed. It doesn't know how to stop.
Every stressful day burns through key minerals and amino acids your brain needs to calm down, relax your muscles, and fall asleep. The more stressed you are, the more your body uses up. The less you have, the worse you sleep. The worse you sleep, the more stressed you feel. It's a cycle that feeds itself.
Sleep starts when your core body temperature drops. But chronic stress keeps your nervous system fired up — raising your temperature, tightening your muscles, and keeping your brain on high alert. Your body physically can't trigger the signal to fall asleep.
Shoulders clenched. Jaw tight. Mind racing through tomorrow's problems at 2am. And no amount of "trying to relax" fixes it — because the problem isn't in your head. It's in your body.
The good news? There's a simple way to break the cycle. ↓
