Ep. 105: Sleep, Stress, and Nervous System Regulation | Amy LePage

Description

In this episode of Resilience Radio, Irvin Eisenberg sits down with somatic movement practitioner Amy LePage to explore the relationship between sleep, stress, and nervous system regulation.

Many people struggle with sleep even when they feel exhausted. Amy shares how nervous system patterns, stress responses, and body awareness can influence sleep quality, and why improving sleep often requires working with the body rather than simply trying to force relaxation.

Amy explains how somatic movement practices can help people reconnect with their bodies, recognize stress patterns, and support deeper rest and recovery.

Key topics include:

✅ Why stress and nervous system regulation influence sleep
✅ How the body's stress response can interfere with rest
✅ Why feeling tired doesn't always translate into quality sleep
✅ How somatic movement practices can support sleep and recovery
✅ Practical ways to reconnect with the body when sleep is disrupted

Amy's work blends movement education, nervous system awareness, and body-based exploration to support sleep, movement, and overall wellbeing.
