Summary

Tonight, Jessica gently reframes insomnia - reminding you that sleep is not something to chase or force, but a natural state your body already knows how to return to.

0:00.0	I want to address the concept of insomnia tonight.
0:16.4	Ugh, insomnia.
0:18.8	What a horrible word. I mean, come on. The only word worse than insomnia is insomniac,
0:26.8	like a maniac. Even the word carries this intensity, which really isn't helpful. The last thing
0:34.3	we need around sleep is intensity.
0:40.6	So that's the last time I'm going to use that word,
0:44.7	and we're going to address this whole concept from a more helpful angle.
0:50.8	First, you are designed to sleep, dear listener.
0:57.4	Every cell of your body is aching to sleep. It's aching to sleep right now.

1:57.0	I presume that's why you're here. Perhaps an early experience caused tension in your body,
2:03.7	and it's never quite let go. Or maybe you had a period of your life when sleep got interrupted, maybe during your student years or early parenthood, and it's never quite gotten back on
2:10.4	track. Maybe some belief systems came about. Maybe you are a go-go-go-go person and think that sleep is for losers.
