Understanding how sleep works can provide a lot of hope and relief because you’ll see that you don’t need to do so much to make sleep happen.
You just mainly need to work to reduce the factors that stop sleep from happening.
So, how does sleep work?
It’s actually pretty simple.
There are only two factors that create sleepiness and allow you to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Both are biological systems in your body.
They are the sleep drive and the circadian rhythm.
Together, they make up what we call the Sleep-Starting Force.
But what gets in the way of sleeping for people with insomnia?
Anxiety and hyperarousal are what get in the way.
Together, anxiety and hyperarousal make up what we’ve named the Sleep-Stopping Force.
