Paradoxical Insomnia – Why You Feel Like You’re Not Sleeping | Ep 15

Do you ever wake up and wonder if you even slept at all?

Do you feel like your body is sleeping but your brain is awake?

Do you feel like you’re in some kind of weird limbo state; half-asleep and half-awake?

If so, this episode is tailored specifically for you!

One of the most bizarre aspects of my own insomnia experience was the seeming inability I had to sleep deeply. My brain wouldn’t let me cross fully into sleep no matter what I did.

Hypersleep is a common phenomenon, but without understanding what it is or why it happens, it can feel pretty scary.

Finally, after decades of feeling like I had a broken brain, I understood what was going on. And that made it SO much easier to get beyond.

Join me in this episode and discover:

• What paradoxical insomnia is
• The two crucial factors that affect sleep
• Why nothing is inherently wrong
• How to navigate this peculiar sleep state
• Why it won’t last forever

Once this paradoxical mystery fades,  hypersleep becomes deeper sleep. And you can get back to your big, beautiful life.
