On this week's episode of Sleepin' It Real, host Seth Davis tackles three important truths about sleep that everyone should know. * First, he discusses the concept of "sleep effort," or the idea that trying too hard to fall asleep can actually make it more difficult to do so. Seth explains that this is because sleep is a natural process, and when we put too much pressure on ourselves to fall asleep, it can create anxiety and make it harder to relax. * Next, Seth talks about how your body actually wants to help you sleep. He explains that the body has its own natural sleep-wake cycle, controlled by hormones and other internal processes, and that it is often our own habits and behaviors that disrupt this cycle. * Finally, Seth discusses the importance of acceptance in sleeping well. He explains that instead of trying to force ourselves to sleep or getting frustrated when we can't fall asleep, it can be helpful to accept that sleep is a natural process and to let go of any negative emotions around it.
