Key takeaways


Stressing about sleep makes it harder to fall asleep.


Challenge myths like "I need 8 hours" or "I must catch up."


Reframe thoughts to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

If you’re struggling with sleep, sometimes the answer isn’t in trying harder—it’s in letting go. The more pressure you put on yourself to fall asleep, the more elusive it can become. Stressing about sleep often creates a cycle of worry and wakefulness that only makes the problem worse. But here’s the thing: as humans, we’re naturally wired to sleep. Your body knows how—sometimes it’s your thoughts that get in the way.


Instead of forcing sleep, what if you focused on changing the way you think about it? Shifting your mindset can reduce anxiety, quiet your inner critic, and help you approach bedtime with more calm and confidence. In this section, we’ll explore simple, powerful ways to retrain your thoughts around sleep—so it feels less like a nightly battle and more like a natural, effortless process.
