Insomnia isn’t just a few restless nights. It’s ex Insomnia isn’t just a few restless nights.
It’s exhausting, isolating, and often misunderstood.

When someone is struggling to sleep, well-meaning comments like “just relax” or “have you tried going to bed earlier?” can land as invalidating. Not because people don’t care, but because insomnia isn’t a problem you can think your way out of.

What helps more than advice is feeling understood.

Here’s what does work to say:

💬 “That sounds really hard. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.”
💬 “Sleep struggles can be so draining. How are you holding up emotionally?”
💬 “I don’t have a fix, but I’m here with you.”

You don’t need the perfect words. Listening, believing them, and staying curious goes a long way.

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 ✨

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.

Follow for sleep education that takes the pressure off 💤
