For example, we brush our teeth every night, then go to bed with the intention to sleep. How does our brain not connect brush teeth -> go to bed -> close eyes with the intention of sleeping?

I’ve been struggling to fall asleep for almost a week now, and it takes me a good hour or so to actually fall asleep.

Is it impossible for our brain to pavlov itself, or is this just another question that I came up with while struggling to fall asleep?
