That moment when you wake up after a rough night o That moment when you wake up after a rough night of sleep and feel… feral 🐻😵‍💫

The funny part? Most people don’t actually look this rough.
But when sleep is disrupted, the brain loves to exaggerate how bad it feels.

Rough nights happen.
They don’t mean your body is broken or that the day is ruined.

You’re allowed to move slowly today.

Follow for more realistic, non-perfectionist sleep support

One of the most frustrating things about insomnia One of the most frustrating things about insomnia is this:
the harder you try to fix it, the worse it can feel 😬

That’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because sleep doesn’t respond well to pressure, rules, or constant self-monitoring.

Trying harder often tells the nervous system, _“something is wrong.”_
And a nervous system on high alert doesn’t settle easily at night.

If this resonates, support can help shift the pattern.

You can go with the flow 😅 As long as you picked t You can go with the flow 😅
As long as you picked the flow, planned the flow, researched the flow, and the flow doesn’t mess with sleep.

In sleep work, this comes up all the time:

- needing bedtime to go exactly right
- trying to control how tired you feel
- tracking every variable “just in case”
- feeling anxious when plans, routines, or sleep change

Wanting control makes sense.
An anxious, overtired nervous system is just trying to feel safe.

Part of improving sleep is learning how to tolerate uncertainty without spiraling. And yes, that’s a skill that can be practiced.

If this feels a little too familiar, you’re not alone 💛

Follow @dc.metro.therapy for sleep and nervous-system support that doesn’t require perfect control.
