Just two forces control sleep.
We call them the sleep-starting force and the sleep-stopping force.
The Sleep-Starting Force
The sleep-starting force is what makes sleep happen.
It comes from two natural systems in your body: your sleep drive and your circadian rhythm.
The Sleep-Stopping Force
If your body is built to sleep naturally, why does insomnia happen?
The answer is the sleep-stopping force.
This blocks sleep from happening, even when your body is tired.
The sleep-stopping force is caused by stress, worry, and an overactive nervous system.
