Sleep disturbances often stem from a combination of stress and lifestyle factors rather than medical conditions.

I have a question about the episode Fix Your Sleep, Improve Recovery, & Balance Your Hormones With Dr. Kirk Parsley | Mind Pump 2245 and the clip Sleep and Stress. Stress and physiological activation are primary mechanisms underlying many forms of insomnia. Elevated cortisol and an overactive sympathetic nervous system (the "fight or flight" response) can make it challenging to fall asleep, a condition sometimes characterized as being "wired and tired." Can you explain how these factors contribute to insomnia and what solutions were discussed in the episode and clip?
