Trying too hard to sleep might be the reason you can’t. 💤 With the rise of “sleep maxxers” and obsessive tracking, 81% of Americans are losing sleep over… their sleep. Social media trends, wellness products, and sleep tech are fueling the pressure for perfect rest—but true rest comes from focusing on healthy habits, not perfection. Prioritize relaxation, not rigid rules.
