How To Sleep Better: Neurologist Explains How to End Insomnia for Good

Are you stuck in the same sleepless cycle every night? You’re not broken — your brain is just running a program it learned. In this episode of Neurologist: Step-by-Step Mental Health Guides, Dr. Steven Resnick unpacks the real neurological causes of insomnia and shares how to rewire your sleep habits using the Five Pillars: Mind, Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, and Physical Health.

Using the real case of a patient named Craig, Dr. Resnick walks you through a clinically grounded and practical approach to overcoming anxiety-driven insomnia — without over-relying on melatonin or medications.

📌 Topics covered:
• Why melatonin often makes things worse
• The sleep-anxiety feedback loop
• How to reframe your identity (you’re not “an insomniac”)
• Sleep hygiene that actually works
• The role of adenosine, cortisol, and your prefrontal cortex

🎯 Learn how your brain is wired to survive, not sleep — and how to teach it to rest again.
