    Why You Can't Sleep (And It's Not Insomnia)

    If you've been told you have insomnia — you probably don't. You have one of three problems. Or more likely, all three.This week on Becoming Arketype, Dr. Ryan Sousley breaks down The Three Resets: three physiological systems that have to come back online for real sleep to happen. It's not about taking more magnesium, taping your mouth, or buying another wearable. It's about understanding what's actually interfering with sleep — and addressing all three.Inside this episode:– Why "sleep hygiene" alone won't fix the problem– The 14-hour timer your body sets every morning that nobody talks about– Why the 3:47am wake-up is a metabolic event, not insomnia– The structural piece almost no doctor is checking– What sleep medications actually do (and why sedation isn't sleep)– The three-Reset protocol you can run starting tonightA practical, mechanism-driven walkthrough for anyone who's tried everything and still can't sleep.For a comprehensive evaluation: arketypehealth.com — two clinics in North Idaho serving Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls.Information without application is just entertainment. Take one thing from today and put it to work this week. That's how you become Arketype.
