Why Insomnia Keeps Happening
Most people try:
-
Sleep hygiene
-
Supplements
-
Meditation apps
-
Medication
But insomnia is usually driven by:
-
Racing thoughts and overthinking at night
-
Anxiety about not sleeping
-
A nervous system that stays alert
-
Conditioned patterns around sleep
That’s why it becomes chronic.
