Show Notes

Just two forces control sleep.

We call them the sleep-starting force and the sleep-stopping force.

The Sleep-Starting Force

The sleep-starting force is what makes sleep happen.

It comes from two natural systems in your body: your sleep drive and your circadian rhythm.

The Sleep-Stopping Force

If your body is built to sleep naturally, why does insomnia happen?

The answer is the sleep-stopping force.

This blocks sleep from happening, even when your body is tired.

The sleep-stopping force is caused by stress, worry, and an overactive nervous system.
