Sleep Is Hard: Why Even Healthy Adults Struggle
Here’s the elephant in the room: sleep is hard.
Unlike exercise or nutrition, we can’t just decide to be good at sleep. We can control what we eat and when we move, but we can’t force ourselves to sleep.
This is why one of the most common things I hear in our Longevity Vault community is that you adopt generally mindful & healthy lifestyles—but struggle with sleep.
This hits close to home for me.
Some of you might know, I’ve been on a 20-year health optimization journey.
What you might not know is that for 15 of those years, my sleep was pretty bad.
I was the “Person A,” I wrote about in my last email with the 10 supplement just for sleep, a meditation device on my nightstand. I wore blue blockers from 5 PM, etc… and still woke up at 3 AM.
Sleep Is Hard: How I can help you With Your Sleep Recovery
That 15-year struggle is the reason I can be your mentor in your sleep recovery journey.
It forced me to look beyond the textbooks, while navigating the same real-world scenarios you have—career shifts, high-stress seasons, life stressors, and hormonal changes—not as a clinician, but as someone who had to find the answers.
But, my sleep didn’t get better by trying more things.
It got better when I understood the mechanisms behind the problem(s) and moved from a shotgun approach to a targeted one.
My goals are identical to yours:
- improve sleep,
- preserve vitality, and
- do it as naturally as possible, for as long as possible.
And since sleep is the foundation for all of that, I’ve built something new to help you.
The Vault 5-Part Sleep Clarity Series
Over 5 episodes, I’ll be your sleep mentor that lives in your inbox.
We’ll uncover why the standard approaches haven’t worked and reframe the problem.
I’ll show you how to move from “trying” (the shotgun approach) to “doing” (a targeted one).
Most importantly, you’ll realize the best news of all: you can get that “Person B” sleep, because you haven’t tried everything.
What do you say, are you ready?
Subscribe below, I’ll be sending the first episode in a few days.

P.S. The Vault 5-Part Sleep Clarity Series is built from the questions I receive most often and the struggles I see the most. I’m putting the final touches on the last episodes and will be reviewing all new responses over the next day as I finalize the content. If you missed it in previous emails, here’s where you can add your questions.
