Your Brain Isn’t Broken — It Thinks You’re in Danger

Insomnia isn’t a sleep problem. It’s a safety problem. In this episode, you’ll discover why your brain flips into fight-or-flight at night, how a few bad nights can train your nervous system to fear the bed, and why effort and pressure make sleep harder. You’ll also learn four gentle, practical experiments to calm hyperarousal and retrain your brain for rest. This is the episode that reframes insomnia from “something is wrong with me” to “my brain is trying to protect me.”
