For example, we brush our teeth every night, then go to bed with the intention to sleep. How does our brain not connect brush teeth -> go to bed -> close eyes with the intention of sleeping?
I’ve been struggling to fall asleep for almost a week now, and it takes me a good hour or so to actually fall asleep.
Is it impossible for our brain to pavlov itself, or is this just another question that I came up with while struggling to fall asleep?

Because we aren’t dogs driven by simple instincts and basic motivations. We are human beings with complicated lives and relationships, all of which can keep you up at night.
The most important things that help when it comes to sleeping well is:
– a dark, quiet and cool room to sleep in
– a comfortable bed
– going to bed at a consistent time every night
– not eating 2 – 3 hours before bed
– not looking at electronic devices before bed (the light messes with your brain’s sleep center)
– getting enough exercise
