Why Your Bed Thinks It’s a Coffee Shop - $39

Understanding Why Sleep Gets Hard (and What to Do Next)

Start Now

A focused, just under one-hour pre-recorded workshop designed to deliver clarity without overload - 40 minutes of carefully curated sleep education that connects the dots and points you to next steps.

If you’re exhausted but alert… You want clarity, not another dead end.
If your body feels ready for bed but your brain disagrees…
If you’ve tried advice, tips, supplements, apps, or even professionals—and still feel confused—

This course is designed to help you understand why sleep gets hard before you decide what kind of help you actually need.

This Is Not a Fix-It Course

And that’s on purpose. Because understanding comes before change—and before choosing the wrong kind of help.

This course does not:

  • Diagnose sleep disorders

  • Replace therapy or medical care

  • Ask you to track sleep, keep a diary, or “optimize” anything

  • Hand you a sleep hygiene checklist

  • Tell you what you should be doing

Instead, it gives you something many people never get:

A clear, science-based map of what’s happening in your sleep system—and how to choose the right next step.

Why Sleep Gets Hard (Even When You’re Doing “Everything Right”)

Sleep problems aren’t caused by one thing.

They usually emerge when multiple systems collide—and one starts to dominate the others.

In this course, you’ll learn how three core forces interact:

  • Sleep Drive – your biological need for sleep

  • Circadian Rhythm – your internal clock and timing system

  • Arousal System – the part of you that keeps you alert, vigilant, and responsive

When these systems are balanced, sleep happens naturally.
When one takes over, sleep starts to feel effortful—and effort is the enemy of sleep.

What You’ll Learn in This Course

This class walks you through the big picture, without jargon or overwhelm.

You’ll learn:

  • The basics of sleep drive and why being “tired” isn’t always enough

  • How circadian rhythm quietly shapes your sleep (and how it gets disrupted)

  • The Sleep Triangle: how sleep drive, circadian rhythm, and arousal interact

  • What happens when one corner of the triangle takes over

  • Common sleep saboteurs that keep people stuck without realizing it

  • Why trying harder to sleep often backfires

    • (including the Chinese finger cuff/sleep trap analogy)

  • A clear, accessible explanation of sleep-disordered breathing

    • What it is

    • Why it’s often missed

    • When it belongs on your radar

  • The Sleep Next-Steps Map

    • How to tell which door to knock on next

    • Behavioral sleep care, medical evaluation, or other supports

    • Direction, not diagnosis

Who This Course Is For

This course is for you if:

  • You feel tired but wired.

  • You’re confused about why sleep is hard for you.

  • You’ve tried advice that didn’t help—or made things worse.

  • You don’t want another checklist or productivity plan.

  • You want clarity before investing time, money, or energy into the wrong solution.

Who This Course Is Not For

This course may not be a good fit if you’re looking for:

  • Personalized treatment.

  • A step-by-step sleep program.

  • Ongoing support or coaching.

  • A medical or mental health diagnosis.

  • A quick “hack” to force sleep.

This is an education and orientation course—designed to help you understand what’s happening and choose wisely.
