À propos de cet audio

Overcoming Insomnia is a practical, science-based podcast for people who are exhausted, frustrated, and tired of trying harder to sleep.

Using proven CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) principles—along with modern neuroscience and insights inspired by Say Goodnight to Insomnia—this show helps you understand why you can’t sleep and how to retrain your nervous system to rest naturally.

We break down: • Why insomnia is a conditioned stress response, not a sleep defect • How the “tired but wired” cycle forms—and how to interrupt it • Why forcing sleep makes insomnia worse • How to calm sleep anxiety without medication • Simple, realistic CBT-I tools you can use tonight

If your mind races at night, your body feels on edge, or sleep has become something you fear instead of enjoy, this podcast will help you stop fighting your brain—and finally sleep again.

    Why You Can’t Sleep at 3 A.M.: Insomnia, Hyperarousal, and the Tired-But-Wired Brain (Why insomnia is a nervous system issue — not a sleep failure)
    Jan 13 2026

    It’s 3:14 a.m. Your body is exhausted — but your mind won’t slow down.

    In this foundational episode of Overcoming Insomnia, we explore why waking up in the middle of the night doesn’t mean something is wrong with you — and why insomnia is not a sleep ability problem, but a nervous system hyperarousal problem.

    Using CBT-I principles and modern neuroscience, you’ll learn:

    • Why insomnia is driven by fight-or-flight, not lack of sleep skill
    • Why “trying harder” to sleep backfires
    • How fear of not sleeping keeps the cycle alive
    • Why your brain is actually trying to protect you
    • How safety — not effort — is what allows sleep to return

    You’ll also hear practical, gentle experiments you can try this week to reduce nighttime anxiety, stop clock-watching, and retrain your brain to associate the bed with calm instead of pressure.

    If you’ve ever thought, “My brain won’t shut off,” this episode will help you understand what’s really happening — and why that understanding is the first step toward sleeping again.
