Emily’s insomnia started with a single sleepless night. She’d stayed up late before, but always on purpose. This time, the choice wasn't hers. And that loss of control left her feeling scared, confused, and convinced something inside her must be broken.

What followed next was a cycle she didn’t understand: long nights, constant clock-watching, dread as the sun went down, and days shaped entirely around preventing another bad night. She turned to movement, routines, and eventually medication, but nothing brought lasting relief.

Sleep became the center of her life.

Her turning point came when she realized she couldn’t keep rearranging her world around insomnia. Inside the mentorship, she learned about hyperarousal, let go of rigid rules, and began loosening her grip on sleep.

Slowly, her nervous system settled. What once had her spiraling felt less threatening over time.

Eventually, trust came to the forefront again. Her insight captures it perfectly:

“Of course my body will remember how to sleep.”

Today, sleep is no longer something she chases. It happens naturally while she lives her life.

Enjoy!

Mind. Body. Sleep.® with Beth Kendall is your trusted source for holistic insomnia recovery, blending neuroplasticity, nervous system health, and mind-body coaching to help you finally sleep again.

In this foundational episode, Beth is joined by Mind. Body. Sleep.® co-coach Richard Wills to explore one of the most important — and least understood — aspects of insomnia recovery: hyperarousal.

Together, they unpack what hyperarousal really is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why it’s the true obstacle standing between you and natural, effortless sleep.

You’ll learn the four types of hyperarousal and how each one can subtly (or not so subtly) keep the brain on high alert.
Beth and Richard share personal insights, relatable stories, and practical ways to help your brain stand down from perceived threats so sleep can re-emerge on its own.

If you’ve ever wondered why your body feels wired when you want to rest, this conversation will bring clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.

Key topics:

• What hyperarousal is and how it develops
• The difference between appropriate arousal and overactivation
• Emotional, physical, mental, and silent hyperarousal explained
• How fear of wakefulness reinforces insomnia
• Practical ways to calm the system and teach the brain safety again
