Nyree Penn explains why your brain can't fully rest without feeling safe. When you're on high alert, sleep stays shallow. People with PTSD stay hyper-vigilant even at night, which is why trauma survivors often struggle with chronic sleep problems.

Chapters

Our bodies need to sleep in a natural environment. If we do not feel safe, we will not completely rest, and specifically, our brains won't rest because we need to be on the lookout for any presumed danger. Sometimes people with post-traumatic stress or highly traumatic events have occurred, they won't ever feel rested, right? They will not allow their guard to go down. So a lot of our patients often suffer from post-traumatic stress disorders, and we have to acknowledge that imposed threat that they sometimes experience.
