  • Summary

  • You might remember times when you did something special, and it felt like it helped you sleep.

    Maybe you took a pill, did a bedtime ritual, or tried a particular trick, and slept better.

    When you struggle with insomnia, you might think these things will help again.

    But the truth is, you can't force yourself to sleep.

    Sleep happens naturally because of two main forces.

    One helps your body fall asleep (sleep drive), and the other can stop sleep from happening (anxiety or feeling too awake).

    These are the only things that control your sleep.
