The ONLY Two Factors That Control Your Sleep (Nothing Else Can)

Understanding how sleep works can provide a lot of hope and relief because you’ll see that you don’t need to do so much to make sleep happen.

You just mainly need to work to reduce the factors that stop sleep from happening.

So, how does sleep work?

It’s actually pretty simple.

There are only two factors that create sleepiness and allow you to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Anxiety and hyperarousal are what get in the way.

Together, anxiety and hyperarousal make up what we’ve named the Sleep-Stopping Force.
