Most people don’t realize how much invisible eff Most people don’t realize how much invisible effort goes into just… functioning when you’re not sleeping well.
The getting up.
The showing up.
The trying again the next day even when your body feels drained and your mind is overloaded.

That takes strength — real strength — not the kind anyone can see from the outside.

So if you’ve been doing your best on low sleep, high stress, or a nervous system that’s running on fumes… you deserve more credit than you give yourself.
You’re carrying more than people realize, and you’re still here. Still trying. Still moving forward. 💛

If you need grounded support around sleep, stress, and understanding your body, follow @dc.metro.therapy — you’re not meant to figure this all out alone.

So many people think going to bed earlier is self- So many people think going to bed earlier is self-care, but if you have insomnia, it’s usually the opposite.

When you crawl into bed too soon, your body isn’t ready for sleep yet. Instead of resting, you end up lying awake, frustrated, and teaching your brain that bed = wakefulness. :persevere:

Real self-care? Protecting your sleep drive by going to bed only when you’re truly sleepy — not just tired. 😴

We’ve all heard it:
“Just go to bed earlier.”
As if sleep is a light switch you can flip on command. 😅🦁

But here’s the truth:
If “just go to bed earlier” actually worked, no one would be struggling with insomnia.
Sleep isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about understanding your body, your nervous system, and the patterns that keep your brain stuck in alert mode.

So yes — the lioness in me does not concern herself with oversimplified sleep advice.
She concerns herself with:
✨ science-backed strategies
✨ consistent wake times
✨ reducing sleep pressure (not increasing stress)

If you’re done with unhelpful sleep advice and ready for something that actually works, you’re in the right place.
Follow @dc.metro.therapy for grounded, compassionate support around sleep, insomnia, and the mind-body connection. 💛
