Sleep Problems Might Start During the Day | Nervous System & Stress Explained

Описание: Many sleep problems don’t start at night — they start during the day.

In this conversation, occupational therapist Irvin Eisenberg speaks with somatic movement practitioner Amy LePage about how stress patterns, nervous system activation, breathing, and daily habits can affect the brain’s ability to transition into sleep.

Instead of focusing only on nighttime routines, this discussion explores how building small moments of regulation throughout the day can help the brain shift out of a vigilant state and support better sleep.

Topics include:
• Why stress patterns during the day affect sleep at night
• How the nervous system influences sleep transitions
• “Day tamers” and small regulation practices throughout the day
• Why waking up at night may not be a problem
• The role of naps, rest, and body awareness
• Using sleep tracking technology without becoming dependent on it

Amy LePage is a somatic movement practitioner who teaches body awareness, movement exploration, and nervous system regulation practices.
