from The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis · host Nat Kringoudis

I've totally been there—wide awake at 3 a.m., staring at the ceiling, desperate for sleep to come. After years of battling insomnia and frequent nighttime waking, I discovered something powerful: insomnia isn't just a frustrating inconvenience; it's actually your body's way of trying to communicate something deeper. In this intimate solo chat, I'm revealing exactly how I overcame insomnia naturally by tuning into my body's messages, shifting from frustration to curiosity, and implementing practical, life-changing sleep techniques...and there's even a link to my Sleep Masterclass below! I'll walk you through my experience using the Chinese Medicine Energy Clock to uncover why I consistently woke at certain times (for me, always between 1-3 a.m., signaling stress and anger tied to my liver).
