What are sleep problems ?
Sleep problems arise when the body or mind can no longer find the peace and quiet to fall asleep or stay asleep. Thoughts remain active, tension in the body increases, and the natural sleep rhythm is disrupted. A restless night affects not only energy but also mood, concentration, and recovery time.

Fear, trauma, or illness can keep the nervous system active. The hug then provides a sense of security and stability, necessary to fall asleep.
Why do sleep problems cause so much unrest ?
Sleep is a physical recovery time, but stress keeps the brain awake. When thoughts keep racing, the body remains in a mild state of alert. The heart rate doesn't slow down enough, muscles remain tense, and true rest eludes us. A sense of security is essential to let go and drift into deep sleep.
