Episode 266: Sleep Hygiene: Train Your Brain to Fall Asleep and Sleep Better

 

If you’re exhausted but can’t fall asleep, wake up wired in the middle of the night, or feel like you’ve tried everything with no success, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reasons sleep struggles happen and exactly how to fix them using simple, practical sleep hygiene strategies that actually work. This isn’t about a perfect nighttime routine, it’s about training your brain and body to finally feel safe enough to rest.

In this episode I’m sharing:

  • Why sleep is a learned neurological response, and how stress trains your brain to stay awake

  • The biggest mistake people make with bedtime routines

  • How blood sugar, cortisol, melatonin, and insulin all affect your ability to fall and stay asleep

  • Why your wake time matters more than your bedtime

  • The connection between late eating and poor sleep

  • How to build a realistic nighttime routine that supports deep rest

  • What to do if you’re wired but exhausted

  • Simple changes that can dramatically improve your sleep in 7–14 days

If you’re ready to stop fighting your body at night and finally experience deep, restorative sleep, this episode will completely shift how you approach rest.
