Can’t Sleep? How I Overcame Insomnia, Nighttime Waking, and Restless Nights


Listen Later

I've totally been there—wide awake at 3 a.m., staring at the ceiling, desperate for sleep to come. After years of battling insomnia and frequent nighttime waking, I discovered something powerful: insomnia isn't just a frustrating inconvenience; it's actually your body's way of trying to communicate something deeper. In this intimate solo chat, I'm revealing exactly how I overcame insomnia naturally by tuning into my body's messages, shifting from frustration to curiosity, and implementing practical, life-changing sleep techniques...and there's even a link to my Sleep Masterclass below! 

I'll walk you through my experience using the Chinese Medicine Energy Clock to uncover why I consistently woke at certain times (for me, always between 1-3 a.m., signaling stress and anger tied to my liver). You'll also learn how to naturally balance your cortisol and melatonin—key hormones affecting sleep—and I'll share my personal nighttime routine, including simple yet powerful strategies like putting my phone away early, using journaling to clear my mind, and creating a sleep-friendly environment.
