Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve thrown everything at my sleep
- On the days I barely move or do anything mentally demanding, I’d expect to crash hard at night
- After a rough night I go to bed early, nap in the afternoon, sleep in on the weekend to make up for it
- There’s a tangled decision with too many moving parts to hold in my head all at once, and I feel pushed to just call it now and be done
- I get into bed an hour or two early to give myself the best shot at sleep, and instead I just lie there weirdly wide awake
Practices that may help
- The Two-Process Model of Sleep
Alexander Borbély’s two-process model describes sleep as the interaction of two independent systems: Process S (homeostatic sleep pressure, which builds throughout waking hours like a battery draining) and Process C (the circadian clock, which gates sleep propensity in a 24-hour rhythm). Good sleep requires both processes to align — sleep pressure high and the clock in its nighttime phase simultaneously. The model is well established in sleep science. - Use the two-process model to diagnose your specific sleep problem
Identify whether your sleep issue is a Process S problem, a Process C problem, or both — because the fixes are different.
The Two-Process Model of Sleep - Use vigorous daytime activity to build a clean Process S curve
Physical and mental activity during the day steepen the sleep pressure curve, making evening sleepiness arrive on time.
The Two-Process Model of Sleep - Build homeostatic sleep pressure by staying awake
Resist napping late or sleeping in when you want to fix your sleep — consistent waking builds the pressure that makes sleep arrive.
The Two-Process Model of Sleep - Sleep on important decisions
For complex decisions, delay commitment overnight — sleep processing integrates information deliberate thought misses.
The Three Bs of Creativity: Bed, Bath, and Bus - Align your sleep window with the circadian gate
Go to bed when both systems are aligned: sleep pressure is high AND the clock is in its sleep phase.
The Two-Process Model of Sleep - Identify your default conflict mode
Before you can choose a mode, you have to know which one you use automatically.
The Thomas–Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) - Challenge the beliefs that make insomnia self-perpetuating
Identify and revise the catastrophic beliefs about sleep that amplify arousal at bedtime.
Sleep Restriction Therapy - Treat sleep as the primary allostatic reset
Consistent, sufficient sleep is the single highest-leverage intervention for reducing accumulated stress load.
Allostatic Load, Made Practical - Sleep as the nightly cycle-completion reset
Sleep is the body’s built-in mechanism for clearing the day’s accumulated stress chemistry.
