For years, sleep was a constant struggle. I didn’t just have trouble falling asleep—I had trouble staying asleep, waking up multiple times throughout the night for no clear reason. Even when I managed to get a full eight hours in bed, I’d wake up feeling like I hadn’t slept at all. There were mornings I’d open my eyes and feel an overwhelming urge to roll over and sleep another eight.
The most confusing part? The moment I sat down during the day—whether at my desk, in the car, or on the sofa—I’d nod off within minutes. It made no sense. My nights were restless, but my days were marked by unrelenting fatigue and sudden drowsiness that felt impossible to resist. It affected my work, my focus, and my ability to enjoy life.
This is more than just being “a bad sleeper.” It’s insomnia. It’s disrupted sleep architecture. It’s a physiological imbalance that turns something natural into something broken. And it doesn’t fix itself.
Now, I’m on a mission—a quest to find what feels like the holy grail: a good night’s sleep. Not a temporary fix. Not another app, supplement, or unproven trick. I want deep, consistent, restorative sleep—the kind that leaves you clear-headed, energised, and alive.
This blog documents the process. What works, what doesn’t. What the science says. And how, piece by piece, I’m rebuilding the foundation of rest that life demands. If you’re reading this and it sounds familiar, know this: you’re not alone. And better sleep is possible. But it starts with understanding the problem and refusing to accept exhaustion as the norm.
