Insomnia Insight #314: The Gas & the Brake

In this episode we learn how sleep is regulated and that sleep physiology is not complicated! We talk about how it is very similar to eating - fasting builds an appetite (gas) and negative emotion can block that appetite (brake).

 

When you understand this model, you can explain any difficulties sleeping you have. And when sleep is not mystery, you get much more of it!
