In this encore episode, I dive into the surprising reason your brain won’t let you sleep at night, even when nothing is actually wrong.

You’ll learn:

Why insomnia is rooted in survival, not broken sleep
How wakefulness becomes linked with fear
The role hyperarousal plays in keeping the cycle alive
The difference between real danger and perceived threat
Why trying to fix sleep often backfires
How understanding the brain supports real, lasting recovery

This conversation reveals how perceived danger, not wakefulness itself, keeps insomnia going, and how neuroplasticity allows the brain to unlearn fear and return to sleep naturally.
