Running on caffeine and chaos? You’re not alone. Running on caffeine and chaos?
You’re not alone. ☕💀

It makes sense — you’re exhausted, in pain, stressed, and trying to push through the day any way you can. Your nervous system’s doing its best to keep you going, even when it’s running on overdrive.

But when you’ve been stuck in that wired-and-tired state for too long, it’s not about willpower — it’s about support.

Therapy can help your brain and body find calm again, rebuild a sense of safety, and make rest feel possible (without needing a triple shot to survive the afternoon). 💭💤

Follow @dc.metro.therapy for practical ways to help your nervous system slow down — no caffeine detox required. ☕✨

Feeling “tired but wired,” wide awake at 3:00 Feeling “tired but wired,” wide awake at 3:00 a.m. checking the clock, and dreading bedtime by noon aren’t character flaws—they’re signs your nervous system is stuck on high alert. ️

Here’s how we start retraining it (no perfection required): keep one steady wake time (yes, weekends) leave bed if you’re wide awake ~20 min—low light, quiet activity, then try again get morning light + a little movement to anchor your clock short, repeatable wind-down that actually calms (not more rules) park the phone/clock—less checking, less pressure

Progress > perfection. Save this for tonight and follow @dc.metro.therapy for evidence-based, shame-free CBT-i tools

When you go to bed early because that’s your cir When you go to bed early because that’s your circadian preference — not because you’re old. 😌

Some people’s internal clocks naturally run earlier (it’s called **advanced sleep phase**), which means your body gets sleepy sooner and wakes up earlier, too.

It’s not a problem — it’s biology. You don’t need to fight your rhythm or “fix” it. Just work with it. 💤

I know — no one wants to hear that wake time mat I know — no one wants to hear that wake time matters more than bedtime. 😅

But here’s why I won’t stop saying it:
Your wake time is what sets the rhythm for your entire sleep system. When you wake up at the same time every day (yes, even on weekends 🙃), you’re giving your brain a reliable cue about when to release energy and when to wind down later.

Going to bed earlier doesn’t automatically make you sleep better — but keeping a consistent wake time helps your body _want_ to sleep at the right time.

So the next time you’re tempted to “catch up” on rest by sleeping in, just remember: consistency builds rhythm, and rhythm builds better sleep. ☀️💤
