Doom scrolling in bed isn’t about poor self-contro Doom scrolling in bed isn’t about poor self-control or bad habits. It’s often a sign of a nervous system that’s overstimulated, avoidant, or desperately trying to wind down after a long day 🧠⚠️

When the brain is tired but still alert, scrolling can feel like relief — even though it often keeps the system activated and delays sleep.

This isn’t about taking your phone away or being “better” at bedtime. It’s about understanding why your brain reaches for distraction and learning gentler ways to help it settle ✨

If this feels familiar, follow along for realistic, non-judgmental sleep education — and check out my free sleep resources linked in my bio 💛

When a boundary does not go over well 😬 it is ofte When a boundary does not go over well 😬
it is often less about how you said it and more about what it disrupted.

Many people are not comfortable with limits,
especially if they benefited from you having none.

Their discomfort does not mean you were wrong
It means the boundary is doing its job

You are not responsible for managing someone else’s reaction to a limit you needed to set 💛

If this still feels hard in your body, that makes sense.
Learning to tolerate other people’s discomfort is a skill.

Follow for reminders that help you keep the boundary anyway ✨

If you’re someone who can push through anything du If you’re someone who can push through anything during the day but feels completely unraveled by exhaustion at night, you’re not alone.

High achievers are often great at staying in control. That works when you need to perform, solve, and manage. But at night, that same mode keeps the nervous system on high alert, sending the message: stay awake.

💡 Sleep isn’t something you force or earn. It happens when your nervous system feels safe enough to stop performing.

✨ Follow @dc.metro.therapy for sleep support designed for high achievers; focused on regulation, not more effort.

🔁 Save this for later, or share it with someone who runs on adrenaline and routines.

Clock-watching is one of the most frustrating part Clock-watching is one of the most frustrating parts of insomnia ⏰

Not because you’re doing something “wrong,” but because a tired, stressed brain slips into monitoring mode. It keeps checking, tracking, and scanning for signs that sleep _should_ be happening.

The problem is that monitoring wakes the brain up even more. The more you check the clock, the louder the system gets.

This isn’t about willpower or discipline. It’s about helping your nervous system feel safe enough to stop keeping watch.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Follow along here for more insight into insomnia and ways to take the pressure off sleep ✨
