ANECDOTE

Basement Childhood Shaped Bedtime

  • Shelby grew up in a basement room and had no nighttime routine, staying up until 2 a.m. from age nine onward.
  • That upbringing made forming a consistent nighttime routine one of her hardest habit changes.
INSIGHT

Love Lives In Your Brain

  • When you love someone their presence becomes wired into your limbic system and lives in neural connections.
  • After a breakup that neural representation becomes inflamed and causes overactivity linked to depression, sleep and appetite disruption, and pain.
ADVICE

Treat Intrusive Thoughts As Confusion

  • Understand that intrusive 'I miss them' thoughts are brain confusion, not your true judgment.
  • Prepare a prewritten response list to read during those moments so you actively choose your narrative.
