You hear it everywhere. Turn off all devices. Avo You hear it everywhere. Turn off all devices. Avoid TV. No phones before bed. And while there are reasons this advice exists, it’s also often applied too rigidly. For me, watching TV in the evening is actually one of the ways I unwind after a long day. It helps my brain shift out of work mode and into something more relaxed. And that matters. Sleep isn’t just about what you avoid. It’s also about how you transition out of the day. For many people, a familiar show or something light on TV can help signal that the day is ending. What tends to cause more problems for sleep is: - Trying to force yourself to go to bed before you’re sleepy - Lying in bed awake for long periods - Worrying about whether you’re “doing sleep right” The goal isn’t to create a perfectly controlled sleep environment. The goal is finding an evening routine that helps your brain decompress and wind down. For some people, that includes screens. Sleep advice works best when it’s flexible enough to fit real life.

That moment 😳 Also… why is it always 3:00am?? It That moment 😳 Also… why is it always 3:00am?? It’s basically a universal wake-up time. It’s not just the time… it’s everything your brain does after you see it. “How long have I been awake?” “How much sleep am I going to get?” “Tomorrow is going to be awful.” And just like that, your body is more alert, your mind is more active and falling back asleep gets even harder It’s not the 3:00am wake-up that keeps the cycle going, it’s the reaction to it Follow for more sleep tips that actually help you get out of the cycle 😴 . . #sleepproblems #sleepexpert #sleepissues #sleeptherapy #insomniaproblems
Ever wondered what sleepwalking actually is? 😴 It Ever wondered what sleepwalking actually is? 😴 It may look like someone is awake, but they’re not. Sleepwalking happens when the brain is caught between sleep and wakefulness. It’s more common than many people realize and can be triggered by several factors. It’s especially common in children, though adults can experience it too. Most of the time, it’s harmless, but it can be a sign sleep is more disrupted than it appears. If it’s frequent, causing stress, or interfering with daily life, it’s a good idea to speak with a sleep specialist. Sleep is not always simply on or off... sometimes the brain is partly switched on. Have you or someone you know ever sleepwalked? I’ve ⬇️ . . #sleepwalk #sleepwalking #sleepwalkers #sleepexpert #sleepscience
Helping people sleep better does not mean I live i Helping people sleep better does not mean I live in a perfectly curated nighttime routine. 😅🌙 I live in the same world everyone else does. Work runs late. Life gets busy. Sometimes the to-do list wins and bedtime routines become... aspirational. That’s actually part of what helps me support anxious sleepers. I know firsthand that sleep is not about being perfect. It’s about flexibility, reducing pressure, and making small shifts that matter. One later night does not ruin everything. One imperfect routine does not equal bad sleep. Progress beats perfection, especially at bedtime. ✨ Check out my sleep resources for extra support, and follow @dcmetrotherapy for realistic insomnia help and anxiety-informed sleep tips. . . #sleeptherapy #sleepexpert #sleepscience #sleepissues #sleephelp
