Sleep Like Your Nervous System Depends On It: A Trauma-Informed Guide to Calming Your Body, Resetting Your Mind, and Finally Falling Asleep Without Me

By DR. Patricia Kenyon

What if your inability to sleep wasn't a flaw... but a message from your nervous system?

If you've tried all the sleep hacks, tracked your REM cycles, cut the caffeine, and still find yourself staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m.-this book wasn't just written for you. It was written to you.

- Do your nights feel like a battle between your body and your brain?

- Have you ever wondered why, no matter how exhausted you are, your system still won't "let" you sleep?

- Have people told you it's all in your head-but your body says otherwise?

You're not broken.

You're not lazy.

You're not doing it wrong.

You're likely just dysregulated. And this changes everything.

✦ A New Way to Understand Sleep - Through the Language of the Body

In this compassionate, neuroscience-backed guide, Dr. Patricia Kenyon invites you to rethink everything you thought you knew about sleep.

Instead of fighting your body into silence, you'll learn how to work with your nervous system to invite natural, sustainable rest.

Because your body doesn't need another rule.

It needs a sense of safety.

Inside This Book, You'll Discover:

- How unresolved stress, trauma, and micro-anxieties wire your body into chronic alertness

- Why common sleep advice fails if your nervous system is in survival mode

- Simple, nightstand-ready tools that calm your body in real time-no screens, no stimulation

- A powerful shift from "routines" to rituals that speak safety to your senses

- Gentle breathing, touch, and rhythm techniques to soothe panic, racing thoughts, and 2 a.m. awakenings

- What it actually means to "feel rested" (hint: it's not just sleep hours)

What This Book Isn't:

It's not another sleep tracker.

It's not about fixing your productivity or optimizing your mornings.

It's not here to guilt you into doing more.

It's here to help you feel more - safe, soft, supported - inside your own body.

Perfect For:

- The high-functioning adult who's exhausted but doesn't know how to stop

- The trauma survivor who feels unsafe in stillness

- The anxious overthinker who wants to sleep without mental gymnastics

- Therapists, coaches, and holistic providers looking to support sleep without medication

- Anyone seeking to give the gift of rest to a loved one they know is silently struggling

✦ This Book Will Help You:

- Reconnect with your body's natural sleep rhythm without pressure or performance

- Understand why your nervous system overrides rest (and how to soothe it)

- Finally stop asking "What's wrong with me?" and start saying "This makes sense now."

- Build a sleep life - not just a sleep routine

Still skeptical?

You might be thinking:

- "But I've tried everything."

- "I don't have trauma."

- "I'm just wired this way."

That's okay.

This book doesn't require perfect belief or flawless execution. It only asks that you get curious, slow down, and try a new path - one paved with compassion, regulation, and safety-first sleep.

✦ You Can Sleep Again - Naturally, Deeply, and Without the Fight

Because rest isn't something you earn.

It's something your body remembers, once it feels safe enough to stop surviving.

Buy this book for yourself - or as a soul-soothing gift for someone who's tired in more ways than one.

Your body already knows how to rest. This is the invitation to return.
