Why do sleep supplements, routines, trackers, and techniques so often fail to fix insomnia? In this episode, sleep physician-turned-sleep coach Daniel explains a powerful truth most people never hear. Sleep is a passive process. Insomnia is an active process. If you are trying to force sleep through products, habits, breathing, exercise, tracking, or mental control, you may be unintentionally keeping insomnia alive.

This episode breaks down how insomnia is maintained by effort, control, and avoidance, why common sleep solutions backfire, and how letting go of sleep effort allows natural sleep to return.
