A free guide for people with hypermobility, EDS, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain who are tired of being told to “just relax.”

You’ve tried the sleep hygiene advice. No screens. No caffeine. Cool bedroom. Deep breathing.

And you’re still lying there at 2am, wide awake, in pain, wondering what you’re doing wrong.

Nothing. You’re doing nothing wrong. The advice wasn’t built for your body.

When you have hypermobility or fibromyalgia, sleep doesn’t fail because of your phone. It fails because your autonomic nervous system won’t shift out of alert mode, your proprioception can’t give your brain a clear “all safe” signal, and your joints won’t let you stay in one position long enough to get into deep sleep.

Standard sleep advice doesn’t account for any of that. This guide does.

Inside you’ll learn:

  • Why your nervous system stays stuck in sympathetic mode at night, and what that actually means

  • The proprioception problem nobody talks about (your brain is running safety checks all night because it can’t feel where your joints are)

  • Why “just relax” isn’t a strategy when your body doesn’t feel safe

  • How a weighted blanket increased melatonin by 32% in one study, and why deep pressure input works differently for hypermobile bodies

  • A specific breathing ratio that targets the vagus nerve (not just “breathe slowly”)

  • Why your temperature regulation is broken and what to do about it tonight

  • The 90-minute wind-down window, and why 30 minutes isn’t enough for a dysregulated nervous system

  • How pre-sleep movement works as a nervous system calibration tool, not a stretching routine

This isn’t generic. It’s 20 pages of practical, evidence-based strategies written specifically for bodies like yours. Every recommendation is referenced. Nothing is recycled sleep hygiene.
