Off the clock thoughts only 😌 But since we’re here Off the clock thoughts only 😌
But since we’re here…

Shaming people for not sleeping enough does not improve sleep.
It increases pressure, anxiety, and nervous system activation 😵‍💫

Most people with insomnia are already trying hard enough.
What they need is less judgment and more support 🧠💛

If you’ve ever felt blamed or dismissed for your sleep struggles, you’re not weak and you’re not doing it wrong.

Struggling with sleep? We get it. 💤 It can be so Struggling with sleep? We get it. 💤

It can be so frustrating when people say, “Just relax,” as if sleep is that simple. No one stops to say: “Thank you for listening to me. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for being here, even when you barely slept.”

Sleep challenges—falling asleep, staying asleep, or being a light sleeper—are more common than you think. And they’re exhausting, both physically and emotionally.

You don’t have to navigate it alone. Head over to my website for self-help tools and resources to start your journey toward a real insomnia solution that works for you.

If you’re a burned-out professional who wants rest If you’re a burned-out professional who wants rest without guilt, this might be for you 😮‍💨

You might need therapy if:

- You’re exhausted but struggle to slow down
- Rest feels uncomfortable or unearned
- Your mind won’t shut off even when work stops
- Sleep feels fragile, pressured, or unreliable
- You keep telling yourself things will get better after the next deadline

This is the work I do.

I help high-functioning, burned-out people understand what’s keeping their nervous system on high alert and learn how to rest, sleep, and live with less pressure and self-judgment 💛 Not by trying harder, but by working differently.

If this resonates, take a look at the resources on my website to start exploring a different way forward ✨

Does your partner fall asleep as soon as their hea Does your partner fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow — and you’re left lying awake, staring at the ceiling?

You’re not alone. And yes, it can feel incredibly frustrating, lonely, and unfair.

When your brain is wired to stay alert, sleep doesn’t switch on just because the lights go off. Comparing yourself to someone who falls asleep easily only adds pressure — and pressure is the fastest way to stay awake.

Here’s what can help:
✨ Stop clock-watching (it keeps your nervous system on high alert)
✨ Focus on winding down before bed, not just at bedtime
✨ Try grounding instead of forcing sleep (slow breaths, body scanning, gentle movement)
✨ Get out of bed briefly if you feel tense — break the frustration cycle
✨ Remind yourself: your sleep isn’t broken, your system just needs more safety cues

Sleep isn’t a competition — and struggling doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. Your body will rest when it feels safe enough to let go.

✨ Follow @dc.metro.therapy for sleep support that honors your journey instead of comparing it to someone else’s.
