Why You Can’t Sleep
With Esther WaltonWhy You Can't Sleep is a practical ten-lesson course for anyone who has spent too many nights watching the clock and wondering why rest won't come. Across ten lessons, you'll learn how your body actually decides when to sleep, and how to work with that process instead of fighting it. You'll build a consistent sleep-wake rhythm using light and timing, create a wind-down routine that genuinely signals rest, and set up a bedroom that supports sleep rather than working against it. You'll learn what to do when a racing mind won't switch off, and the single most effective technique for the moment you're lying awake at 3 am. You'll also cover the anxious cycle that keeps so many tired people awake, the food, drink and movement choices that help or hinder rest, and how to bring everything together into a realistic, personal sleep plan you can keep using long after the course ends. Every lesson gives you specific, practical tools you can try that night, not just information about why sleep matters.
Practical, evidence-based tools to finally sleep well again.
