Why trying harder to sleep keeps you awake

A free 45-minute workshop, live on Zoom.

The thing that finallyĀ helped my insomnia was learning to stop trying to sleep. In this workshop, I'll show you why effort backfires at night, what's keeping your brain switched on, and how to stop trying so hard to sleep, starting tonight.

It's free. I'll email you the Zoom link, and the replay if you can't make it live.

What you'll learn

A small clay token stamped with a curled sleeping figure, on linen
  • Why the harder you try to sleep, the more awake you get
  • What's keeping your brain switched on at 3:00 a.m., even when you don't feel anxious
  • How to stop trying so hard to sleep, starting tonight
  • How CBT-I works. It's the approach recommended first for long-term insomnia, before sleep medication

Bring your questions. I'll save time at the end to answer them.

This workshop is for you if

You lie in bed trying to make yourself fall asleep.

You wake up at 3:00 a.m. and your mind starts running.

You've tried the sleep hygiene tips, and you're still awake.

You've heard of CBT-I and want to see how it works.

The fine print

This free workshop is education, not therapy or medical advice. I won't be able to give personal advice about your mental health or medication.

If your sleep trouble comes with loud snoring, gasping, or falling asleep during the day, talk to your doctor about a sleep study.

If you're in crisis, call or text 988.
