The 'Root' Problem That Causes Insomnia

Most people drive cars, but don't really understand in detail how the
mechanics of the car works. The same goes for sleep.
Most people think that sleep is just "sleep." You close your eyes, you
fall asleep, you wake up refreshed and ready to go.
(If only it were that simple for most people!)
Just like car engines are most complex on the inside than on the
outside. Sleep is actually a little bit more complex than it looks.
There's actually a system that your body uses to fall asleep, while
using sleep to re-energize itself. I call this system the inner sleep
system.
You don't need to know all the details on how your inner sleep system
works, right now you need to know one thing:
You're probably aware that your conscious mind turns off when you fall
asleep before your more dormant "subconscious" mind takes over.
Every night, for most people, this happens automatically and it
requires your brainwaves to drop from Beta brainwaves, to Alpha
brainwaves.

My brother had/has a sleep disorder whereby the motor function part of
his brain woke up in the middle of the night - and he would just get
up and start interacting with the dream world overlayed with the real
world, but still totally alseep. He had super strength once as he
walked out into the living room and with one arm lifted up a pretty
heavy couch and flipped in on it's side. And then sometimes he's jump
really high up in the air, way higher that he should be able to. And
when you shook him to snap him out of it, he would just collapse, to a
state of "just being woken up" - very sleepy and obviously disoriented
by not being in his bed.

To me this is more evidence that the brain is a very complicated
machine, the sum of all it's mechanism resulting in what think of as
"self" - but really there are vast mechanisms, some more discrete than
others, working in parallel....
