๐ค What Is Sleep Disruption?
Itโs more than just tirednessโitโs the frustration of lying awake, counting sheep that stubbornly refuse to jump. Often, restless nights stem from anxiety, emotional upheaval, chronic stress, trauma, or even hormonal shifts.
You may find yourself drifting to sleep only to awaken abruptly at 3 am, or maybe your mind ignites into overdrive the moment your head touches the pillow.
๐ How Does Sleep Disruption Feel?
-
Like your body is tired, but your brain forgot how to rest.
-
Like wrestling endlessly with a tangle of thoughts.
-
Like the night feels too vast to face alone.
