Lesson 6 of 6

Sleep tips are not a treatment, and the field says so

Almost everything written about sleep is a list of tips. Cool room, dark room, no screens, warm bath, lavender.

That is called sleep hygiene, and here is the honest position. The field's own clinical guideline recommends against using sleep hygiene on its own as a treatment for long standing insomnia. Not because the tips are false, but because a list of tips does not touch the loop from lesson two.

We are telling you that rather than adding another list, because if the last three years of tips have done nothing for you, that is not a failure on your part. You were given the wrong tool for the job.
