Taking Sleep Medication.
Still Waking Up Exhausted?
In one live hour, a NeuroRestorative Sleep Scientist shows you why a brain can be asleep without ever restoring, what your medication is actually built to do, and the plan that stops one bad night from wrecking your whole week.

The question is not only "Did you sleep?" The question is "Did your brain restore?"
You're Sleeping. So Why Don't You Feel Rested?
Here's the question Dr. Penn hears almost every week, usually from someone already taking something to sleep: "If my medication is working, why am I still exhausted?"
Maybe your medication helps you fall asleep. Maybe it helps you stay asleep. Maybe you're even getting your seven or eight hours most nights. And morning still shows up the same way: brain fog, a heavy head, the kind of tired that coffee doesn't touch.
You've already tried the obvious fixes: the bedtime routine, the tracker, the supplements, maybe more than one sleep aid. Some of it helped you sleep longer. None of it made you feel restored.
That doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It means you've been measuring the wrong thing: counting the hours you were unconscious, instead of asking whether your brain recovered during them. That's the question this workshop answers, and it changes what you do next.
She Watched 15 Years of Sleeping Brains. Here's What She Learned.
For over fifteen years, Dr. Penn worked as a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant. Her job was to sit with people at the most vulnerable moment of their lives and watch what their brains were doing while they were completely under.
That gave her more hours than almost anyone watching the difference between a body that's unconscious and a brain that's actually recovering. Those are not the same event. You can put a body down and get nothing back from it.
Most sleep medications are built to reduce wakefulness: to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, or both. That's a real and useful job. It is not automatically the same job as restoring your brain. In this workshop, she shows you the difference, and what to do about yours.
Why $17? Because This Room Is Small on Purpose.
Dr. Penn works on the leading edge of sleep restoration science, and she teaches this workshop herself: live teaching, live Q&A, a cohort capped at 50 seats so your questions actually get answered.
The $17 isn't the price of the workshop. It's the filter. Free rooms fill with people who register and never show. A small commitment keeps the seats for people who are serious about fixing their sleep, the ones who genuinely want and need the help, so the hour stays focused, personal, and worth showing up for.
If that's you, your seat is waiting. And the replay is included either way.
I'm Serious About My Sleep: Save My SeatWhat You'll Walk Away Knowing, In One Hour
- Why sleeping longer doesn't mean restoring better.You stop chasing hours and start measuring what actually predicts how you feel at 7 AM.
- The real difference between sedation and restoration.You'll finally have language for why a "full night" can still leave you empty.
- What the five major sleep medication categories are built to do (Z-drugs, orexin receptor antagonists, sedating antidepressants, benzodiazepines, supplements and herbals), in plain English.You leave understanding your own nightstand, without being told to change any of it.
- Why you can look "fine on paper" and feel terrible in your body.Sleep architecture and fragmented sleep, explained so it finally clicks.
- What NeuroRestorative Sleep™ actually means.The framework for asking whether your sleep supports brain recovery, mental clarity, and a functional day.
- Why a "normal" sleep study doesn't always explain your symptoms.Traditional testing asks if you're breathing. You'll learn the second question it skips.
- What Sleep Independence™ really means.A plan for the hard nights, so one bad night stops wrecking your whole week.
This stays educational throughout. Nothing here asks you to stop, reduce, increase, combine, or replace any medication. Those decisions stay between you and your prescribing physician, always.
Built for People Who've Already Tried the Obvious Things
This is for you if:
- You use a prescription sleep medication, a supplement, or another sleep aid
- You can fall asleep, or stay asleep, and you still wake up exhausted
- Your sleep study came back "normal" and you still don't feel rested
- You feel wired and tired: worn out, but too wired to fully settle
- You want a real, science-based explanation instead of another sleep-hygiene list
This isn't for you if:
- You had two rough nights this week and you're otherwise fine
- You want a personalized medication-tapering plan handed out in a group workshop
- You're looking for a specific supplement recommendation
- You need urgent medical or psychiatric care right now (please contact your doctor or local emergency services)
- You won't involve your prescribing physician in any medication decision
Meet Dr. Nyree Penn, DHSc, CAA
NeuroRestorative Sleep Scientist · Founder & CEO, NSOMNIA Sleep™
Dr. Penn spent over fifteen years monitoring patients' brains in the operating room. That's where she first saw the gap between a body that's sedated and a brain that's actually recovering, and started building the framework to close it.
She's the author of "Why We Don't Sleep: The Biological Secrets Behind Insomnia," Principal Investigator on a Phase 1 clinical trial studying sleep restoration, a U.S. delegate for World Sleep Day 2024, and host of the Sleep Reimagined podcast.
Her message is simple: sleep isn't sedation. It's restoration.

Questions, Answered
What if I can't attend live?
Register anyway. The replay goes to every registrant either way.
Is this only for people on prescription sleep medication?
No. It's just as relevant if you use melatonin, magnesium, CBD, an over-the-counter sleep aid, or a combination, and you still don't wake up feeling rested.
I'm on sleep medication. Is this workshop for me?
Yes, and this part matters: nothing in this workshop asks you to change your medication. Do not stop, reduce, increase, combine, or replace any prescription, supplement, or sleep aid without your prescribing physician. That decision stays between you and your clinician, always.
Why is it $17 instead of free?
The room is capped at 50 and Dr. Penn answers questions live. The $17 keeps the seats for people who are serious about fixing their sleep, so the hour stays focused and your questions actually get answered.
Will I get a medication tapering plan?
No. Individualized tapering plans are not handed out in a group workshop. Never stop or adjust a prescription sleep medication without guidance from the clinician managing your care.
Is this going to be a pitch?
Dr. Penn teaches for the hour. At the end, she'll mention the Sleep Independence Blueprint™, the program for people who want to keep going. You're welcome to ignore it completely. The teaching stands on its own either way.
What's the $47 Clinical Companion Experience?
An optional add-on built around the same guide she teaches from: the complete PDF plus six videos walking through it section by section, to go deeper on your own time.
How long is it?
About an hour, plus live Q&A.
