It's the foggy mornings, the shortened fuse, the growing dread as bedtime approaches, and the money quietly spent on products that were never going to fix a problem that isn't a product problem. And here is the part most people never hear: the popular sleep-hygiene advice and the actual clinical protocol for insomnia are often in direct contradiction.
