Dr. Tabatha Barber breaks sleep into three parts: your conscious brain wants comfort, your subconscious brain needs to feel safe, and your body needs proper alignment. Most tossing and turning comes from pain, safety concerns, or temperature issues.
So now the trick is to try to figure out the perfection of what we call the sleep triune, to be able to balance these out. If the sleep triune. Triune is the balance between the conscious brain, the subconscious brain in the body. Because the conscious brain, I mean, the subconscious brain, is really where that parasympathetic nervous system thrives. It just wants safety when it sleeps. It wants to feel protected, safe, nurtured. Right? The conscious brain just thinks it's want, wants comfort. And then the body wants alignment, because the number one reason you toss and turn is because of pain, then safety, then temperature regulation, which is where the dysfunction comes with the, the parasympathetic nervous system.
