The off-switch for inflammation — how your body resolves what it starts
Inflammation has two phases, not one.

You Don't Have a Sleep Problem. You Have an Inflammation Problem.
Sleep rarely breaks in isolation — inflammation breaks it first. Inflammatory messengers — IL-6 and TNF-α — disrupt the deep, slow-wave sleep that actually repairs you. And then poor sleep makes inflammation worse. It's a loop, not a line. Most "sleep" interventions — melatonin, magnesium, sleep hygiene rules — help symptoms but don't touch the loop. Address the inflammation, and sleep tends to follow.
