Sleeping in the Metacrisis
Why is it so hard to sleep well? Shouldn’t it be easy if it’s a biological process?
This is a question I am often asked by my clients.
If we look at sleep as being a process only, then yes, we should all be able to sleep well, because it is indeed a biological process that we all benefit from.
It involves a series of stages and cycles that our body and brain go through to restore and rejuvenate. There are different phases, such as light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep, each one with a specific function, like physical repair, memory consolidation, and emotional processing.
Over the past century, the development of new technologies has enabled researchers to uncover the mysteries of what happens while we are asleep.
This is what I like to call the ‘obvious’ part of sleep; the biological part, sleep in itself, the facts; the science.
As rational human beings, we like to understand how sleep works and see evidence. That’s why nowadays we use smart devices to monitor our sleep.
But hear this out! There are two other parts of sleep that are not that ‘obvious’ and that people don’t usually think about: there’s before sleep and after sleep. Apart from being an active, dynamic process that our body and mind engage in every night, sleep is also a result (of what happens before we fall asleep) and an outcome (of what happens after sleep, when we wake up). Let me explain:
Why is sleep a result? Because everything that happens from the moment we wake up, everything we do in our everyday life, and every decision and action we take - will determine our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Modern life comes with its challenges. Increased stress from work, finances, and social pressures can severely impact sleep quality. The pervasive use of screens, especially before bedtime, can disrupt sleep patterns due to blue light exposure and overstimulation. Environmental factors, like urbanization, noise, and light pollution can all interfere with our natural sleep cycles. There are also lifestyle aspects to be considered: irregular work hours, long commutes and heavy traffic, poor food choices, no physical exercise, and an overall lack of work-life balance - all of which can make it really hard to maintain consistent sleep routines.
So, although sleep is natural, you can see that it is the result of many external and internal factors that can make it so complex. And this is why many people have so much difficulty falling asleep easily.
The outcome of a good night’s sleep is how we feel upon waking up, reflecting the benefits of the sleep process and giving us the necessary energy for the day ahead. We think better, we feel in a better mood, and we are able to do more with less effort. Life seems easier and more enjoyable.
But what happens when sleep is disrupted throughout the night, and falling back asleep is difficult? Or, when even though sleeping through the night, we still wake up feeling exhausted (as many nowadays experience)?
This is where we need to look deeper into more subtle reasons, like: unconscious mental patterns, deep worries and anxiety, unresolved emotions that the mind struggles to let go of; subtle environmental factors that may not be immediately noticeable but still affect sleep quality; societal pressures with emphasis on productivity and constant connectivity, which can make it hard for the mind to unwind.
As you can see, sleep is not only a biological process, but truly a multifaceted experience that touches different aspects of our lives.
When there are several various factors responsible for a certain outcome (such as lack of sleep), and these factors are interconnected, impacting or amplifying each other, creating a more challenging situation, we are talking about a ‘metacrisis’.
Sleep difficulties are indeed a significant concern in today’s world. Roughly, 1 in 3 adults worldwide have insomnia symptoms.
Addressing sleep challenges in this metacrisis requires a holistic approach that considers all of the interconnected factors above. Learning what good sleep hygiene is, working on ways to reduce stress, and building self-care resources - are all key elements of my Sleep Story Therapy for restful and restorative sleep.
To summarize from my perspective, sleeping well at night shouldn't be hard at all. Just like everything in life, if you put the right pieces in place, things will work. Your sleep is not damaged forever; it can be fixed, and it can get better. I know this because I have been through this myself. Sleep is now my best friend, and it helps me have a joyful and fulfilled life.
I can't wait for you to join me on this journey to making your sleep truly restorative and peaceful; are you ready? Start here
Reflecting on your inner self and your own sleep needs, contrary to what others or society might want you to do, is an act of courage these days. I hope you're one of the brave ones so you can sleep well in the metacrisis!

The Life of an Insomniac
Are you a ‘sensitive’ sleeper?
You’ve probably wondered many times why some people fall asleep instantly, just laying down in bed and putting their head on the pillow, whereas others (perhaps you too) toss and turn for hours, feeling the sheets underneath them too cold, too warm, their clothes too tight and uncomfortable, too much light in the room, too many noises from outside, etc.
The difference in how quickly we fall asleep comes down to a mix of biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors.
For example, if you have racing thoughts or high stress levels, your nervous system might be highly activated, and it can take longer for you to transition into sleep. If you spend a longer time awake than usual or you have had a very active day, the sleep pressure will be high and you will fall asleep faster. Your sleep environment and habits, caffeine and stimulants, circadian rhythms, sleep disorders and genetics - they all can make a difference in the ability to fall asleep easily or not.
But there is something particular that I wanted to talk about. Let’s say none of the above is a cause of your difficulty in falling asleep. You are not under stress right now, you do not drink coffee, you got checked by a medical physician, and everything is biologically ok. And yet you are struggling with sleep. What else can it be?
I have always had this empirical belief that people who have trouble sleeping may be more sensitive people. This is not completely wrong per se, and when studying the science of sleep, the ‘mystery’ was revealed.
We have the ability to subconsciously scan our external environment to evaluate safety, danger, or threat without even being aware of it (this is called neuroception).
How? For example,
• When you walk into a room and immediately feel uneasy, even though no one has said anything negative, and later you find out there was tension you subconsciously picked up on;
• If you often feel anxious, tense or hyper-alert in a new environment;
• If you easily notice a subtle tone, a glance, or body language cues;
These are all signs you may have heightened neuroception.
And there is something else called interoception, a conscious awareness of what’s happening inside your body:
• If you easily notice small shifts in your body, like heartbeat changes, pain or tension, hunger, temperature, or breathing;
• If you feel things “in your gut” and often trust bodily signals when making decisions;
• If you feel everything in your body very strongly;
These are all signs you may have heightened interoception.
How are these related or connected to sleep?
Self-awareness around neuroception and interoception can be a game-changer, especially for emotional regulation and sleep.
If your experience is:
• Low in both, you are what I call a ‘lucky’ sleeper.
• High neuroception without interoception might look like you are in constant unease with no clear reason, picking up things from your environment, but not knowing what to do with them.
• High interoception without neuroception might look like you’re tuned into your body, feeling everything very strongly, but unaware of the impact of your environment, feeling many things inside without knowing where they came from.
• Both are high, then you are what I call a ‘sensitive’ sleeper (you need to sleep only on your side of the bed, only on your pillow, you cannot sleep easily if you had a fight with your partner, your body feels tense when you lie in bed, it’s too cold or warm in the bedroom, etc.).
As a ‘sensitive’ sleeper, when feeling any discomfort or threat, may it be real or perceived, this can lead to activating your sympathetic (‘fight-or-flight’) nervous system, which completely blocks the transition into sleep. For some reason, you may not be feeling safe.
Sleep requires the ventral vagal state, a calm, socially engaged, and safe-feeling mode. That’s why focusing on ways of activating the parasympathetic nervous system with practical exercises and techniques will support a peaceful transition into sleep.
If you believe you might be a sensitive sleeper, that’s ok, there’s nothing wrong with it, it just means you need more intentional regulation strategies (like breathwork, somatic practices, or nervous system calming routines) to transition into sleep.
And this is precisely what Sleep Story Therapy is for: to offer support and guidance to all ‘sensitive’ sleepers from a slightly different approach; one that takes into consideration your specific needs and challenges.
It’s all waiting for you right here.
No more insomnia! Give yourself the rest and energy you deserve to go through life with ease and joy!

Waking Up at Night is Normal
Did you know that sleep happens in cycles and we wake up every one and a half hours during the night? One complete cycle of light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep lasts 90 minutes, at this point, we wake up briefly, and then we enter the next cycle. This means that in an 8h sleep at night, we wake up around 5-6 times. At least our brain does, and most times we are not even aware of the fact that we’ve woken up.
Some researchers believe this is a survival mechanism of our brain that wants to keep us safe. Humans evolved this way since they were living in nature, in caves, waking up to look for any predators, which seemed like the right thing to do. But now we live in safe environments and there aren’t any real dangers for us to be waking up. And still, our brain functions in this way.
It is a good thing that we can automatically fall back asleep. But sometimes this doesn’t happen. Sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night, with thoughts rolling and we just can’t fall back asleep. Why?
Well, because the feeling of safety can be real or perceived. There aren’t any wild predators who could attack you in the middle of the night, we established that. But there might be other things that could represent a threat to your brain: thoughts of worry, unresolved emotions, unconscious fears.
The most common ‘threat’ that comes up at night is worrying thoughts. They may be more serious, like a close deadline at work while your part is not ready; a fight with your partner and the possibility of breaking up; a health problem of your parents and the fear of losing them; a job that you don’t enjoy and the financial pressure you feel to provide for your family; or they may be smaller worries, like some food you forgot to add on the groceries list; a message you were supposed to send to your child’s teacher; the tiniest details of organizing an event in the family, and so on.
All of these, even if they feel real to you, are not actually real sources of threat. They are only thoughts. But the brain cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is perceived. Our brain will think that we are in real danger. And when our brain perceives that, what happens is that it will release the necessary chemicals to mobilize our body for dealing with that ‘threat’. And this is how we get an active brain and body ready to ‘rock & roll’ :) How is sleep then even possible?
Let’s take a step back. Thoughts of worry, fear and stress are ok; we are humans, and alive, and worrying about certain things is normal. What is important to be aware of is that when these thoughts are being activated, our body also gets activated. The button switches to ON, which is the sympathetic nervous state of ‘fight or flight’. Being in danger means fighting or running. Or sometimes freezing.
But this activation will actually prevent us from sleeping. Sleep only happens when we are in a relaxed state (the parasympathetic ‘rest and digest’ nervous state).
In conclusion, preventing waking up at night is not an option. Let’s trust human biology and the wisdom of our brain which knows what’s best for us! The key element is how to fall back asleep. What we can have control over is our thoughts and body. Calming down your mind and relaxing your body is a skill that is learnable.
Working with a sleep specialist can help you identify the exact sources of your worries, give you the confidence that sleep is a natural process that you deserve and you can benefit from, and teach you tools and techniques to help relax your mind and body.
Sometimes the sources of our worries are obvious, but many times they are hidden. There may be things from our past, or things that you might not even be aware of. That’s why, sometimes just implementing some tips & tricks you find on the internet or that a friend tells you about could work, but other times, a much deeper work is needed to find the real causes of you waking up at night, and develop some long-term sleep routines and strategies.
A chronic sleep disruption at night can have a serious impact on our life, such as: daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and overall health issues.
So if you wake up frequently in the middle of the night with rolling thoughts, worries, panic and stress, having trouble going back to sleep, and the following day you feel completely exhausted - I have a question for you: aren’t you tired of being tired? When are you going to decide that you DESERVE to sleep well, to be well-rested and fully energised to go about your day?
Doing nothing, will change nothing. But if any of this resonated with you, it means you are finally ready to do something about your sleep.
I look forward to meeting you and guiding you to write a new chapter of YOUR Sleep Story.
A FREE discovery call with me will help you get clarity on your situation, and it’s the first step you can take towards YOUR great sleep!

What is important to be aware of is that when these thoughts are being activated, our body also gets activated. The button switches to ON, which is the sympathetic nervous state of ‘fight or flight’. Being in danger means fighting or running. Or sometimes freezing.
But this activation will actually prevent us from sleeping. Sleep only happens when we are in a relaxed state (the parasympathetic ‘rest and digest’ nervous state).
In conclusion, preventing waking up at night is not an option. Let’s trust human biology and the wisdom of our brain which knows what’s best for us! The key element is how to fall back asleep. What we can have control over is our thoughts and body. Calming down your mind and relaxing your body is a skill that is learnable.
Working with a sleep specialist can help you identify the exact sources of your worries, give you the confidence that sleep is a natural process that you deserve and you can benefit from, and teach you tools and techniques to help relax your mind and body.
Sometimes the sources of our worries are obvious, but many times they are hidden. There may be things from our past, or things that you might not even be aware of. That’s why, sometimes just implementing some tips & tricks you find on the internet or that a friend tells you about could work, but other times, a much deeper work is needed to find the real causes of you waking up at night, and develop some long-term sleep routines and strategies.
A chronic sleep disruption at night can have a serious impact on our life, such as: daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and overall health issues.
So if you wake up frequently in the middle of the night with rolling thoughts, worries, panic and stress, having trouble going back to sleep, and the following day you feel completely exhausted - I have a question for you: aren’t you tired of being tired? When are you going to decide that you DESERVE to sleep well, to be well-rested and fully energised to go about your day?
Doing nothing, will change nothing. But if any of this resonated with you, it means you are finally ready to do something about your sleep.
I look forward to meeting you and guiding you to write a new chapter of YOUR Sleep Story.
A FREE discovery call with me will help you get clarity on your situation, and it’s the first step you can take towards YOUR great sleep!
Waking Up at Night is Normal
Did you know that sleep happens in cycles and we wake up every one and a half hours during the night? One complete cycle of light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep lasts 90 minutes, at this point, we wake up briefly, and then we enter the next cycle. This means that in an 8h sleep at night, we wake up around 5-6 times. At least our brain does, and most times we are not even aware of the fact that we’ve woken up.
Some researchers believe this is a survival mechanism of our brain that wants to keep us safe. Humans evolved this way since they were living in nature, in caves, waking up to look for any predators, which seemed like the right thing to do. But now we live in safe environments and there aren’t any real dangers for us to be waking up. And still, our brain functions in this way.
It is a good thing that we can automatically fall back asleep. But sometimes this doesn’t happen. Sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night, with thoughts rolling and we just can’t fall back asleep. Why?
Well, because the feeling of safety can be real or perceived. There aren’t any wild predators who could attack you in the middle of the night, we established that. But there might be other things that could represent a threat to your brain: thoughts of worry, unresolved emotions, unconscious fears.
The most common ‘threat’ that comes up at night is worrying thoughts. They may be more serious, like a close deadline at work while your part is not ready; a fight with your partner and the possibility of breaking up; a health problem of your parents and the fear of losing them; a job that you don’t enjoy and the financial pressure you feel to provide for your family; or they may be smaller worries, like some food you forgot to add on the groceries list; a message you were supposed to send to your child’s teacher; the tiniest details of organizing an event in the family, and so on.
All of these, even if they feel real to you, are not actually real sources of threat. They are only thoughts. But the brain cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is perceived. Our brain will think that we are in real danger. And when our brain perceives that, what happens is that it will release the necessary chemicals to mobilize our body for dealing with that ‘threat’. And this is how we get an active brain and body ready to ‘rock & roll’ :) How is sleep then even possible?

That’s why, sometimes just implementing some tips & tricks you find on the internet or that a friend tells you about could work, but other times, a much deeper work is needed to find the real causes of you waking up at night, and develop some long-term sleep routines and strategies.
A chronic sleep disruption at night can have a serious impact on our life, such as: daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and overall health issues.
So if you wake up frequently in the middle of the night with rolling thoughts, worries, panic and stress, having trouble going back to sleep, and the following day you feel completely exhausted - I have a question for you: aren’t you tired of being tired? When are you going to decide that you DESERVE to sleep well, to be well-rested and fully energised to go about your day?
Doing nothing, will change nothing. But if any of this resonated with you, it means you are finally ready to do something about your sleep.
I look forward to meeting you and guiding you to write a new chapter of YOUR Sleep Story.
A FREE discovery call with me will help you get clarity on your situation, and it’s the first step you can take towards YOUR great sleep!
Did you know that sleep happens in cycles and we wake up every one and a half hours during the night? One complete cycle of light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep lasts 90 minutes, at this point, we wake up briefly, and then we enter the next cycle. This means that in an 8h sleep at night, we wake up around 5-6 times. At least our brain does, and most times we are not even aware of the fact that we’ve woken up.
Some researchers believe this is a survival mechanism of our brain that wants to keep us safe. Humans evolved this way since they were living in nature, in caves, waking up to look for any predators, which seemed like the right thing to do. But now we live in safe environments and there aren’t any real dangers for us to be waking up. And still, our brain functions in this way.
It is a good thing that we can automatically fall back asleep. But sometimes this doesn’t happen. Sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night, with thoughts rolling and we just can’t fall back asleep. Why?
Well, because the feeling of safety can be real or perceived. There aren’t any wild predators who could attack you in the middle of the night, we established that. But there might be other things that could represent a threat to your brain: thoughts of worry, unresolved emotions, unconscious fears.
The most common ‘threat’ that comes up at night is worrying thoughts. They may be more serious, like a close deadline at work while your part is not ready; a fight with your partner and the possibility of breaking up; a health problem of your parents and the fear of losing them; a job that you don’t enjoy and the financial pressure you feel to provide for your family; or they may be smaller worries, like some food you forgot to add on the groceries list; a message you were supposed to send to your child’s teacher; the tiniest details of organizing an event in the family, and so on.
All of these, even if they feel real to you, are not actually real sources of threat. They are only thoughts. But the brain cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is perceived. Our brain will think that we are in real danger. And when our brain perceives that, what happens is that it will release the necessary chemicals to mobilize our body for dealing with that ‘threat’. And this is how we get an active brain and body ready to ‘rock & roll’ :) How is sleep then even possible?
Let’s take a step back. Thoughts of worry, fear and stress are ok; we are humans, and alive, and worrying about certain things is normal. What is important to be aware of is that when these thoughts are being activated, our body also gets activated. The button switches to ON, which is the sympathetic nervous state of ‘fight or flight’. Being in danger means fighting or running. Or sometimes freezing.
But this activation will actually prevent us from sleeping. Sleep only happens when we are in a relaxed state (the parasympathetic ‘rest and digest’ nervous state).
In conclusion, preventing waking up at night is not an option. Let’s trust human biology and the wisdom of our brain which knows what’s best for us! The key element is how to fall back asleep. What we can have control over is our thoughts and body. Calming down your mind and relaxing your body is a skill that is learnable.
