MP3•Episode home

In this foundational episode, Beth is joined by Mind. Body. Sleep.® co-coach Richard Wills to explore one of the most important — and least understood — aspects of insomnia recovery: hyperarousal.
Together, they unpack what hyperarousal really is, how it shows up in the body and mind, and why it’s the true obstacle standing between you and natural, effortless sleep.
You’ll learn the four types of hyperarousal and how each one can subtly (or not so subtly) keep the brain on high alert.
Beth and Richard share personal insights, relatable stories, and practical ways to help your brain stand down from perceived threats so sleep can re-emerge on its own.
If you’ve ever wondered why your body feels wired when you want to rest, this conversation will bring clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of hope.
Key topics:

What hyperarousal is and how it develops
The difference between appropriate arousal and overactivation
Emotional, physical, mental, and silent hyperarousal explained
How fear of wakefulness reinforces insomnia
Practical ways to calm the system and teach the brain safety again
