Register for my free masterclass, The 7 Keys to a Good Night’s Sleep, on November 19th:[https://thesleepdetective.com/masterclass-signup](https://thesleepdetective.com/masterclass-signup)

In this episode, I explain why you sleep well some nights and terribly on others, and what it actually takes to get off the sleep roller coaster. I share the story of a client who had been sleeping five or six hours a night for decades and saw big changes in just five weeks.

You’ll learn:

- Why your sleep swings between good nights and bad nights
- The hidden stressors in your body that make sleep inconsistent, even when life feels calm
- Why copying everything you did before your last good night doesn't work
- 2 everyday habits that were unknowingly sabotaging my client's sleep
- How one client went from five or six hours to close to seven in just five weeks
- How to handle an off night so it doesn't spiral into weeks or months of insomnia
