The holidays can bring so many mixed emotions — an The holidays can bring so many mixed emotions — and it’s completely normal to feel them all. 💛

All of these feelings are valid. You don’t have to perform happiness or push through just because it’s the season.

Give yourself permission to feel, rest, and honor your needs — it doesn’t make you ungrateful, it makes you human.

When anxiety decides to clock in at 3 a.m., it’s n When anxiety decides to clock in at 3 a.m., it’s not because you didn’t “relax enough” before bed. It’s because your brain still thinks there’s something that needs solving.

People usually mean well with the quick fixes and calm-down advice… but if relaxing were that simple, you’d already be asleep.

Nighttime anxiety isn’t a willpower problem — it’s a nervous system one. The work happens long before your head hits the pillow.

✨ Follow @dc.metro.therapy for relatable insights on anxiety and sleep, plus practical CBT-i tools to help your brain feel safe enough to rest.

Here’s the thing: better sleep isn’t about followi Here’s the thing: better sleep isn’t about following a rigid checklist.

A good sleep therapy approach often includes CBT-i strategies, but it also looks at the bigger picture — helping you:
✨ Understand your natural sleep cues and patterns
✨ Work with your circadian rhythm, not against it
✨ Create a plan that’s tailored to your body, your nervous system, and your life

The goal isn’t to force yourself into strict rules — it’s to build a routine that actually helps your brain and body feel safe enough to rest. 🧠💤

💬 Do you find strict bedtime rules helpful, or do you sleep better when you’re more flexible? Let me know below. ⬇️

You’re calm all day… and then the second your head You’re calm all day… and then the second your head hits the pillow, your brain suddenly has questions, concerns, and a full agenda. 😅

Here’s what I see all the time in sleep therapy:
A lot of people don’t feel anxious at 2 PM — they feel anxious at 2 AM.
And that nighttime mental spiral usually has less to do with “anxiety disorder” and more to do with a brain that finally has space to unload.

When we stop trying to control sleep and start working with the thoughts and habits that show up at night, things get easier.

If you’re stuck in the “I’m not anxious… but also I can’t sleep” loop, you’re not alone — and it’s completely workable.
