Sleep
The sleep lane focuses on nights when tired and sleepy stop meaning the same thing. It catches people who want short explanations for bedtime frustration, not a full wellness lecture.
This subtopic now works as a mini-collection for sleep resistance, bedtime pressure, and the little habits that make a wired brain stay awake.
What this shelf is for
Sleep is the right lane when someone is not asking for a medical deep dive. They are asking why they are exhausted, in bed, and still somehow mentally switched on.
