Sleep Optimization vs. Insomnia: The Surprising Contradiction | Ep 19
Dec 28, 2023 Episode 19
Beth Kendall

Finding real help for insomnia can feel daunting.

Mainly because there are TWO different conversations going on in the sleep world:

1. Sleep optimization: This conversation focuses on improving sleep for people who don't have insomnia, typically through lifestyle changes and sleep hygiene practices.

2. Insomnia: This conversation addresses the underlying conditioned fear and anxiety driving chronic sleeplessness.

The stark contradiction between these two conversations makes it crucial to understand them.

Tune in to this information-packed episode to discover:

  • The importance of understanding the ROOT CAUSE of insomnia
  • What separates sleep disruption from insomnia
  • Why sleep hygiene is a waste of time
  • Why focusing even MORE on sleep isn't helpful for insomnia
  • How relying on external interventions can erode trust over time


Gaining a better understanding of these two conversations is key on the path back to sleep freedom. And trust me, once you grasp the distinction, you’ll start seeing it everywhere.
