If you’re waking up in the middle of the night… it may not be a sleep issue.
Many people assume insomnia is about:
• melatonin
• sleep habits
• or “trying harder” to relax
But what if the real issue is something deeper?

If you’ve been struggling with sleep and haven’t found answers… this may connect some important dots.
