If you find yourself tossing and turning every night, your mind constantly going, your thoughts jumping from one thing to the next and no matter what you try, you just cannot switch it off.

Then this can be an indication that the Sleep Switch in your brain is not working properly.

Most people I work with have tried everything, the sleep tips, routines, podcasts, sleep music, even medication, but none of it has worked.

And when none of it works, they start to wonder what’s wrong with them.

But nothing is wrong with you. Your brain just hasn’t been able to slow down.

Now you are at a point where you don’t know where to turn. Well, you need to turn inwards to your brain.

The brain controls everything, including your sleep.

The science shows that Insomniacs have a much higher active brain day and night, making it much harder for them to sleep.

Their brain is stuck in the higher brain gears.

When your brain is stuck in these higher brain gears, your sleep switch cannot turn on. So even though your body is exhausted… your mind stays alert.

Once you improve how the brain functions, the Sleep Switch works correctly again and everything changes.

You drift off to sleep easier, sleep deeper and wake feeling more rested and refreshed in the mornings.

And this is much easier to do than you think.

And as you read this, you might already be wondering whether to keep fighting this alone…

…or whether it’s time to finally get help to fix the root of your insomnia, that’s been blocking you from getting the sleep you need.

You need to fix what is happening in the brain to fix the sleep switch.

It's amazing what can be done when people feel like themselves again.

Wednesday mornings are when Brighid starts work early…

…she is gone at 5am in the mornings.

So i am on morning duty on my own.

I like to meditate in the mornings and do a bit of planning for my day in clinic.

As we have 2 early rising kids, we could see them anywhere from 5:30 on.

So if I want to meditate and get some work done, I need to be up early.

It seems like lately I need to get up earlier and earlier.

If I don’t, the lads will be in on top of me, particularly Tara.

She will walk in slowly and sit on my lap.

After a minute or two of staying quiet, she will start to ask me questions.

So I ask politely for them to go back to bed… it doesn’t always work.

And as much as I love those moments, it reminded me of something I see every day in clinic.

Most people are starting their day already tired.

Not “a bit groggy” tired… but that deep, heavy tired…

…where the brain hasn’t slowed down all night and the body is running on fumes.

People think they’re bad sleepers.

Or that they’re stressed.

Or that they need a better routine.

But the real reason is simpler than that.

Their sleep switch isn’t turning on.

The brain is stuck in high gear.

Tired body… wired mind.

Exhausted… but alert.

Hoping to fall asleep… but the mind won’t stop.

And if the sleep switch isn’t working, nothing else will work either.

But once that switch starts coming back on...

people go to sleep faster…

…stay asleep longer…

…and wake feeling like themselves again.

For many people dealing with insomnia, it can take 2 hours or more to go to sleep.

They wake several times throughout the night…

…then getting through the day is a struggle.

To be honest, if you're going through this cycle every night…

…all the information you need to fix your sleep is available on…

…google…youtube…facebook…instagram…tiktok and multiple self-help books on sleep.

So why are you still struggling to sleep?

I have been giving out loads of tips over the years and there are multiple other people giving all the information people need to resolve their sleep.

Yet, you're still struggling with your sleep.

So why is that?

Why have you not fixed your sleep issues?

The thing is…nobody talks about what is happening in the brain.

You can watch hours of videos from all the social media channels and read a book every week on sleep…

…but if your brain is over-stimulated…caught in the higher brain gears…

…you have wasted a lot of your valuable energy, money and most importantly…

…years of your life on all these things.

And you're still in the same place.

Because one thing you can’t get back in your life is time.

Time that you have not been able to enjoy your work or hobbies…

…time that you have not been able to enjoy social gatherings…

…and most importantly, time you have not been able to enjoy with your family.

And this is the part nobody tells you.

Your sleep doesn’t improve because you learn more.

Your sleep improves when your brain starts working the way it’s supposed to.

If the brain is stuck in the higher gears, your sleep switch won’t turn on.

If the brain isn’t slowing down, you won’t stay asleep.

Science and research has shown this.

And no amount of tips… routines… supplements… or earlier nights will fix that.

Because the problem is happening deeper.

It’s happening in the regulation of your brain.

Once the brain starts coming out of those higher gears, your sleep switch can finally work again.

You go to sleep easier.

You stay asleep longer.

You wake feeling like yourself again.

And most people only realise how bad things were, once they finally feel good again.

You’ve been trying to fix your sleep without fixing the thing that controls sleep...
..Your brain.

For nearly 25 years my brain and nervous system were under stress.

This was nearly every day.

I was always nervous going places or talking to people, it stressed my body and my mind.

A lot of it came from losing my mother when I was 2.5 years old.

By 13, the insecurity had started to affect me.

My anxiety was always around not feeling safe.

It even affected me when my own kids were around that age.

Moments of dread if anything happened to Brighid.

Now I can rationalise it, because my brain is resilient.

But for many years it wasn’t and it affected my sleep switch.

Long periods of stress can overstimulate the brain, keeping it stuck in the high brain gears.

Research shows people with insomnia live in those high brain gears all the time.

So at night the brain doesn’t feel safe to switch off.

The body is exhausted but the mind won’t switch off.

Even lying in bed, the brain is still scanning for danger, even when there is none.

People think they’re overthinking or worrying too much.

But it’s deeper than that.

It becomes a habit.

A loop.

And the sleep switch is affected more than anything else.

The sleep switch only works when the brain feels safe enough to slow down…

…to drop into the lower brain gears where sleep actually happens.

If that doesn’t happen for years, the cycle becomes harder to break.

But once the brain starts regulating correctly again…

…the nervous system calms…

…the sense of safety returns…

…and the sleep switch finally works again.

You fall asleep easier.

You stop waking through the night.

Life gets easier.

This is exactly what I help people fix every day in my clinic…

…getting the brain out of the high gears so the sleep switch can work again.

There’s nothing wrong with you.

Your brain just hasn’t been getting the chance to switch off.

Once that changes… everything changes.

A lot of people blame themselves for their bad sleep.

They think they “should” be able to sleep just like everyone else.

They lie awake at 2am wondering what’s wrong with them.

They try routines, earlier nights, supplements, prescriptions, trying to relax…
..but nothing changes.

Here’s the truth...it’s not their fault.

Because, their sleep switch just isn’t turning on.

For most people I see in clinic here in Cork...
..the brain hasn’t slowed down in years.

They go to bed exhausted, but the mind stays alert.

They wake at 2am, 3am, 4am, or hardly sleep at all...
..and feel wrecked all day.

Most advice focuses on sleep hygiene...routines and rituals.

But what if the real issue is with how your brain is working?

If that sounds familiar...
...I’m running a free online session next Wednesday at 8pm...
..where I’ll show you how to get the sleep switch working again...
..so you can fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer.

I used to jump from one thing to the next…

…starting something…

…drifting…

…starting something else again.

Nothing got finished.

And I’d be annoyed with myself every evening.

People think it’s a focus problem…

…or motivation…

…but it’s not.

It’s the brain stuck in the wrong gear.

When your sleep switch isn’t working…

…you wake up foggy…

…your thoughts scatter…

…and everything feels harder than it should.

Once the brain starts regulating again…

…you feel calmer…

…clearer…

…and you can actually finish things.

There’s a simple way to get there.

One that doesn’t involve meds, apps, or willpower.

If this feels like you…

…it can change.

Faster than you think.

Like a lot of the people I see in clinic, I used to think mornings were supposed to feel calmer.

Then life happens…

…early starts…

…kids up early…

…and you’re already tired before the day begins.

One woman I worked with said the same thing.

She was waking every morning feeling wrecked… mind in a fog…

…and no matter what she tried…

…routines… supplements… earlier bedtimes, nothing changed.

She thought she was a bad sleeper.

Or stressed.

Or “wired like this.”

But the real reason was simpler.

Her sleep switch wasn’t turning on.

Her brain was stuck in high gear… tired body, wired mind…

…and she was paying for it every morning.

Once we started working on getting her brain to regulate again, things shifted fast.

Her sleep switch started working again.

She fell asleep easier… stayed asleep longer…

…and started waking feeling like herself again.

She’s not the only one.

It’s what I help people with every day.

If your mornings feel the same…

…exhausted… foggy… already behind…
