If you’re exhausted and not sleeping well, burnout If you’re exhausted and not sleeping well, burnout and insomnia often feed each other. The goal isn’t perfect sleep hygiene. It’s lowering pressure so sleep can come back naturally.

Here are some strategies I actually recommend:

1️⃣ Keep a consistent wake-up time (even after a rough night)
This helps rebuild sleep pressure and stabilizes your body clock without forcing sleep.

2️⃣ Get daylight early in the day
Natural light tells your brain when the day starts, which helps it know when night ends.

3️⃣ Stop trying to “win” bedtime
You don’t need the perfect routine. Calm, boring, and repeatable works better than ideal.

4️⃣ If sleep isn’t happening, change the environment
Getting out of bed briefly when awake or anxious prevents your brain from associating bed with stress.

5️⃣ Let sleep improve imperfectly
Better sleep comes from consistency, not control. Progress is rarely linear, and that’s okay.

Save this for later and start with just one.
Sleep gets easier when the pressure comes down 💛

Sleep can start to feel like a relationship that c Sleep can start to feel like a relationship that changed without warning.

What once felt easy and comforting now feels tense, unpredictable, or distant.

This Valentine’s Day, instead of trying to fix your sleep, consider rebuilding trust with it 💙

Falling back in love with sleep isn’t about trying harder or following stricter rules.
It’s about softening the pressure.
Creating safety.
Letting rest be enough, even when sleep doesn’t arrive right away.

Just like any relationship, sleep responds better to patience than force.
To consistency over intensity.
To kindness instead of criticism.

If sleep has been feeling hard lately, you’re not failing.
You’re learning how to meet your body where it is — and that’s an act of care.

➡️ Here’s your reminder today: rest doesn’t need to be earned.
And you’re allowed to take things slow.

The funny part? Most people don’t actually look this rough.
But when sleep is disrupted, the brain loves to exaggerate how bad it feels.

Rough nights happen.
They don’t mean your body is broken or that the day is ruined.

You’re allowed to move slowly today.
