Life's Dirty Little Secrets Podcast | Breaking Silence Around the Secrets We All Carry · Secret #83: Sleep Myths with Dr. Sue McCurry · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

Human beings love stories, we all love stories.

And stories are a beautiful thing, they're very parsimonious, they capture a lot of information in a little bit.

But they can we can become quite rigid about our stories.

We can hold on to our stories very tightly.

And stories often have rules embedded in 'em.

So I ask people to talk to me about what their sleep stories are.

And they all people with insomnia all have stories about their sleep.

And they're all very good stories.

I I don't sleep on Sunday nights before Monday when I have to work, or I haven't slept since my first baby was born, or I haven't slept since I had menopause, or I haven't slept since that night I was stuck preparing for my dissertation fifty two years ago.

I mean they all have a s s multiple stories about their sleep.

But here's what I tell people stories, we're not gonna get into whether stories are are true or false or gourb and upright or wrong.

Stories are always incomplete.

And in the world of sleep that's particularly true when someone comes to me and says

I haven't slept for the past three years.

Well, I know that's not true.

Or they probably wouldn't be live if they truly weren't sleeping as much as they think they are not sleeping for such a long period of time.

They their story is I can't sleep.

And each night when they go to bed.
