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
- On my worst days I do the exact wrong thing
- 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 as the nightly cycle-completion reset
Sleep is the body’s built-in mechanism for clearing the day’s accumulated stress chemistry.
The Stress Response Cycle: How to Discharge Stress, Not Just Remove the Stressor - 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 - Rest and sleep after overlearning to consolidate gains
Overlearning primes memory for consolidation; sleep completes the process.
Overlearning: When Practicing Past Mastery Pays Off - Challenge the beliefs that make insomnia self-perpetuating
Identify and revise the catastrophic beliefs about sleep that amplify arousal at bedtime.
Sleep Restriction Therapy - Use weekend recovery sleep — but limit the overshoot
A partial recovery sleep on weekends reduces acute cognitive debt but does not fully repay it — and large overshoots delay the Monday clock.
Sleep Banking: Building a Buffer Before Sleep Loss - Use body temperature to assist sleep onset
Drop your core temperature before bed — the temperature fall is a key Process C signal for sleep onset.
