Join my free masterclass on October 22nd, Sleep Through the Night: Find the Hidden Imbalances Keeping You Awake. Sign up here: [https://thesleepdetective.com/masterclass-signup](https://thesleepdetective.com/masterclass-signup)

In this episode, I explain the one simple reason why the supplements, bedtime routines, sleep studies and CBTI you've tried haven't fixed your sleep, and why that's actually good news.

You'll learn:

- The real reason nothing you've tried for sleep has worked so far
- What I discovered when I developed insomnia myself, even though my doctor said I was perfectly healthy
- Why feeling like you've tried everything means there's still something left to find
