Okay.

Well, is your air very polluted in that case?

In that case, you know, maybe you need an air purifier.

So from a sleep perspective, it's, is there anything physically that's preventing you from getting deep sleep if you wanted it?

Do you have some sort of systemic inflammation going on?

Do you have untreated sleep apnea?

Do you have chronic pain?

Are you taking a medication that could be suppressing this?

Is there something that's a physical barrier?

Let's go down the list and rule them out.

Because if there's something preventing you from getting deep sleep, let's get it out of the way.

Let's unprevent it.

Let's treat that condition.

If there isn't, and we still see that there, then it's like, okay, well, maybe it's environmental.

Do you have, is your room too hot?

Is your bed too uncomfortable?

Is your spouse snoring too loud or rolling over too much?

Are you just too sensitive to light?

Do you live on a street where you're asleep, but there's still cars driving by and that's creating this?

Like, is there something in your environment?
