The Sleep Detective podcast: why you can't sleep and how to fix it

59: What is normal sleep?


Listen Later

Good sleepers close their eyes, fall asleep quickly and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. It should be that easy.


When you have insomnia, sleep isn’t easy. You can’t fall asleep. Or you lie awake for hours in the middle of the night, exhausted but wired.


Whether you’ve been suffering for years or even decades, understanding how sleep works is the first step to better sleep.


After listening to this episode, you'll know why it's normal:

  • to feel tired after lunch
  • to take a few nights to make up for missed sleep
  • to misjudge how long you sleep
  • to feel like you sleep better the first half of the night and more restlessly toward morning
  • to wake up briefly throughout the night

  • If you aren't sleeping well and waking up rested, there are imbalances in your body that are keeping you awake. We can find out what they are and give you a plan to correct them so you can sleep better soon.
