Tonight, we gently explore how the brain falls asleep — not as a switch flipping off, but as a careful handover into rest. We’ll drift through the two quiet forces that guide sleep: the pressure that builds across the day and the inner body clock that responds to light and darkness.Along the way, we softly explain what happens as the mind transitions from wakefulness into the first layers of sleep, how the brain begins to “turn down” the outside world, and why the night moves in calming cycles — from deeper stillness to vivid dreaming and back again.If you enjoy bedtime stories that feel peaceful and quietly educational, this SleepWise episode is made for you. Get comfortable, let the world slow down, and drift with us. Good night.
