INSIGHT

Subconscious Safety Drives Sleep

  • The subconscious requires safety to allow sleep; trauma and chronic fear block proper sleep initiation.
  • Dr. Peter Martone argues most poor sleep stems from unprocessed trauma and a survival-state nervous system.
ADVICE

Align Body Before Bed

  • Put your body into neutral alignment with minimal head support and neck support to fall asleep correctly.
  • Use a neck support under the cervical curve and avoid curling into a ball to distribute weight across the greatest surface area.
ADVICE

Daily Practices To Lower Heart Rate

  • Use daytime practices that lower heart rate (meditation, sauna, grounding) and track which works best with a ring.
  • Repeat the highest-impact calming activity daily to shift your nervous system toward parasympathetic dominance.
