Why Your Body Won’t Let You Sleep

Why Deep Rest Matters

Sleep is important. But deep rest matters too. In this episode of The Modern Yin Podcast, we explore the connection between quality sleep, nervous system regulation, and NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest). We talk about why chronic stress makes true rest difficult, why many women over 40 still feel exhausted even after sleeping, and how practices like Yin Yoga, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, and intentional stillness help the nervous system finally soften. Because rest is not laziness. It’s regulation.
