Do you wake up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts and can't seem to fall back asleep?

In today’s episode, we dive into that dreaded 3am wakeup, especially for those of us balancing motherhood and high-stress careers. 

From my own struggle with insomnia and light sleeping, I know how waking up in the middle of the night with a surge of energy can ruin your next day. 

We'll discuss why this happens, focusing on how our sympathetic nervous system triggers a fight-or-flight response even when there’s no real danger. 

By understanding these cues, we can take proactive steps to soothe our nervous system and reclaim restful nights.

Listen in to learn:

  • The science behind waking up in the middle of the night
  • Practical steps to move and discharge activating energy
  • Techniques to shift into a parasympathetic state for better sleep


Tune in for tips that will help improve your nighttime routine and get you that quality rest you’re craving.
