Trouble sleeping is analogous to trouble breathing; the body is built to perform these functions, and difficulty indicates an obstruction rather than a lack of inherent ability.

“When a patient comes in and says, "I'm having trouble sleeping." It's like saying, "I'm having trouble breathing." When someone says, "I'm having trouble breathing," it's not just because like they suck at breathing and it's just a skill they never mastered, right? Like, you were breathing when you were born. No one had to teach you. It's a part of how your body works.”
