STOP TRYING TO SLEEP! A Clinical Psychologist Explains Why It’s Keeping You Awake

Are you trying too hard to sleep? If you struggle with falling asleep initially, waking up in the middle of the night, or waking up too early, the effort you are putting into fixing the problem might actually be the cause. In this masterclass, clinical psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Nick Wignall explains why the gold-standard approach to fixing sleep—Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—is vastly different than standard "sleep hygiene" advice. He argues that insomnia is fundamentally an issue of arousal and anxiety interfering with your natural sleep drive, and that "sleep effort" is the enemy.
