My comment: “Thanks for the advice… but it’s not that simple.”

The truth? Screens aren’t the enemy. It’s what you do on them that matters. Doomscrolling or binging suspenseful shows in bed? Sure, that’ll keep you awake. But rewatching a favorite sitcom or reading something light on the sofa? That can actually help calm racing thoughts and make it easier to fall asleep.

Sleep isn’t about rigid rules like “no screens ever.” It’s about flexibility — finding what works for you without making bedtime more stressful.

➡️ Your turn: Do screens help you wind down or keep you up? Share in the comments — I’d love to hear what works for you.

Back-to-school week can be brutal for teen sleep. Back-to-school week can be brutal for teen sleep. 😴📚

Teens are wired to stay up late — it’s part of their biology. But early alarms and packed schedules don’t exactly leave much room for sleeping in. The result? Exhaustion, crankiness, and a lot of stress for both teens and parents.

It’s important to give yourself and your teen grace. A rocky first week doesn’t mean they’re doomed to bad sleep all year — their body will gradually find its rhythm.

What’s been the hardest part about back-to-school sleep in your house?

👇 Share in the comments — and follow for more tips on helping your teen (and you!) get better sleep.

Your struggle with sleep isn’t a personal failur Your struggle with sleep isn’t a personal failure. 💤💛

As a sleep therapist, one of my biggest goals is to create a space where my clients feel safe — safe to talk about their exhaustion, their anxiety, and all the frustration that comes with sleepless nights.

✨ Struggling with sleep is not your fault.
✨ Your nervous system plays a huge role — this isn’t just “mind over matter.”
✨ And sometimes, the harder you try, the harder sleep becomes.

If you’ve been blaming yourself for not “sleeping right,” you deserve compassion — not shame.

Better sleep isn’t about overhauling your entire Better sleep isn’t about overhauling your entire life — sometimes, it’s about making a few small but powerful changes that add up. 🌙

When your sleep is off, it can affect everything— your focus, your mood, your energy, and even your physical health. And the more frustrated you feel, the harder it gets to rest.

That’s where CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) comes in. It’s the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment that helps you:
✨ Understand what’s really disrupting your sleep
✨ Make small, targeted changes that have a big impact
✨ Rebuild trust in your body’s natural sleep rhythms

With the right strategies and support, better sleep isn’t just possible — it becomes easier than you think.
