Can't Fall Asleep Easily? Here Are 2 Reasons Why That Might Be!

Falling asleep is a very common problem for people with insomnia. In my experience as a therapist, there are 2 main overarching reasons as to why "sleep initiation" can be challenging.

One reason is biological (sleep drive) and behavioral – and one reason is psychobiological conditioning or "training" of mind and body.

Why is it hard to fall asleep?

Listen to how both of these things can make it challenging for some people to fall asleep.
