Ever feel exhausted all evening, only to become wi Ever feel exhausted all evening, only to become wide awake the moment you get into bed? 😴

Insomnia often starts during a stressful event, illness, travel, pain, or a period of anxiety. But after enough difficult nights, your brain can begin to associate bedtime with frustration, pressure, and wakefulness.

This is known as conditioned insomnia.

The good news? Learned associations can change. 🧠

CBT-I helps break this cycle by reducing sleep-related anxiety and rebuilding the connection between bed and sleep.

Have you ever noticed that you sleep better somewhere other than your own bed?

✨ If insomnia has become a source of stress, reach out to learn how CBT-I can help.

The morning after a bad night can feel VERY dramat The morning after a bad night can feel VERY dramatic. 😂

You wake up tired and your brain immediately starts:

How am I going to work?
How am I going to focus?
Should I cancel everything?
What if I feel like this all day?

But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough:

Being tired is uncomfortable. Being afraid of being tired makes it so much harder.

A bad night doesn’t automatically mean a bad day.

Get up. Have your coffee. Go outside. Do the things you were planning to do. Give your brain a chance to discover that you can handle the day, even when you didn’t sleep well.

And save this for the next morning your brain decides you cannot possibly participate in society.

When most people think about chronic pain, they th When most people think about chronic pain, they think about the pain itself.

What they don’t see is everything happening behind the scenes. 💭

✨ Constantly planning.
✨ Monitoring symptoms.
✨ Wondering what your body can handle today... and tomorrow.
✨ Worrying about making it worse.

That invisible mental load is exhausting. 😔

Sometimes the hardest part of chronic pain isn’t the pain itself.

It’s everything your brain is doing because of the pain. 💙

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood because people only see the physical symptoms, you’re not alone.

💬 What’s one thing you wish other people understood about living with chronic pain?

Insomnia brain does not believe in waiting until w Insomnia brain does not believe in waiting until we get to the bridge. 😂

We’ve already crossed it, researched it, calculated exactly how much sleep we’ll get, and figured out how terrible we’re probably going to feel tomorrow.

Meanwhile, it’s 8:30 p.m. and we haven’t even gone to bed yet. 🫠

Nothing like worrying about the consequences of a bad night of sleep before the bad night has even happened.

➡️ Send this to someone whose brain also likes to get several disasters ahead of itself.
