Insomnia - Sleep is controlled by the Brain (and that’s why “sleep tips” keep failing you)
If you’re exhausted all day and wired at night due to Insomnia, it’s usually not your pillow, your bedtime, or your magnesium that’s the real problem.
Sleep is controlled by your Brain.
Inside your brain is a kind of “sleep switch” that decides when it’s safe to power down.
When this switch works, your mind slows down, your body follows, and you drift into deep, more restorative sleep.
When it is stuck in high alert, you get the opposite:
- Tired body.
- Wired mind.
- Clock-watching.
- Another groggy morning.
You can stack all the routines and sleep hygiene you want…
..but if your brain is over-stimulated and that sleep switch is not getting the message to switch off, nothing really changes.
That is why so many smart, diligent people feel like they’ve “tried everything” and still cannot sleep properly.
The real solution is a brain-first approach: calming and retraining the parts of your brain that keep you on guard at night, so your sleep switch can finally do its job again.
If tips have failed you and you’re ready to fix sleep at the brain level...

I will explain why your sleep switch gets stuck even when you’re exhausted...
