The 2-Phase Solution for Sleep Issues (Part 1 of The Vault 5-Part Sleep Clarity Series)
Most sleep advice treats every restless night as the same problem. Yet poor sleep, like back pain, has many origins—and each demands a different approach. This episode reframes sleep disturbance as a downstream signal, not the main issue, showing how a 2-phase model clarifies which strategies truly restore rest and which only mask symptoms.
Sleep works through invisible chemical and neural coordination—more like network maintenance than muscle repair. When we treat the surface (tossing, early waking) without identifying which phase we’re in—symptom control or root-cause repair—progress stalls. The next installment reveals how to map your own phase and choose tools that match your brain’s current sleep architecture.
Key Points
Poor sleep functions as a symptom of underlying neural or metabolic imbalance, not the core problem.
Back pain illustrates why identical symptoms can stem from entirely different sources—requiring tailored strategies.
Most common fixes (supplements, gadgets, apps) address Phase 1 symptom control but miss Phase 2 stability restoration.
