You needed rest. You planned to slow down. And som You needed rest.
You planned to slow down.
And somehow… that didn’t happen.

Now you’re explaining your weekend like it was a cautionary tale

It can feel like the pit of despair when rest never actually arrives, even when you finally have time. But this is something that can be worked with. When your nervous system has been running on high alert, slowing down does not happen on command.

If weekends leave you more tired than before, you are not alone and you are not stuck.

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.

Ever wake up feeling disoriented, sluggish, and li Ever wake up feeling disoriented, sluggish, and like you just can’t shake off the sleepiness, no matter how much sleep you’ve gotten?

…That’s sleep inertia, and it’s more common than you think.

Sleep inertia is that grogginess you feel right after waking up. It happens because your brain is still transitioning from a deeper sleep stage—especially if you wake up during slow-wave sleep (the deepest stage of non-REM sleep).

During this time, parts of your brain, like the prefrontal cortex (responsible for decision-making and focus), stay in “sleep mode,” making it hard to feel alert.

💡 Do you struggle with grogginess in the mornings? Let me know what mornings are like for you in the comments!

Your brain loves to predict disaster after a bad n Your brain loves to predict disaster after a bad night of sleep.
“If I don’t sleep, tomorrow will be terrible.”

But that’s not a fact—it’s fear talking.

You’ve gotten through tired days before. You showed up, functioned, and made it to the other side. You can do it again.

And here’s the part your anxious brain leaves out: a poor night of sleep can actually be helpful. It builds sleep drive, which often means your body is more ready to sleep the following night.

So try not to argue with your thoughts—just don’t obey them.
