When I had insomnia, I’d toss and turn all night, only to fall blissfully asleep right before the alarm went off.

Or even weirder, I’d stay awake all night, but then magically fall during my 10-minute snooze alarm.

So what gives?

Well, it’s not as strange as it might seem. In fact, it makes perfect sense.

Tune into this episode to understand why this happens and how “less is more” when it comes overcoming insomnia.

Enjoy!

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Jennifer, another Mind. Body. Sleep. graduate, to discuss her transformative journey through insomnia.

She candidly shares the two factors that LED to her struggle, and the breakthroughs that finally helped her out.

On releasing pressure around sleep:

"The whole time I was like, ‘Is this physical? Is it hormonal? I need to take a pill.’ But when the pressure was off, I slept. That was really eye-opening for me."

She also shares her many insights on:

• The combination of challenges that changed her relationship with sleep
• How she started breaking the cycle
• How she maneuvered through speed bumps
• The key turning points in her recovery

This is a story about patience. Self-kindness. And faith. By embracing trust and leaning on community, Jennifer found her way back to peaceful sleep.

You can, too 🧡

Enjoy!
