It’s 2:37 AM, and here we are. Again.
The ceiling feels like it’s closing in, and your brain is running a marathon while your body begs for rest. If you’re battling anxiety-induced insomnia, you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with sleepless nights, racing thoughts, and the endless cycle of worry that keeps them wide awake.
Understanding Anxiety and Sleeplessness
Anxiety doesn’t play fair. It doesn’t care that you have an important meeting tomorrow or that you’re desperately trying to catch some sleep. Instead, it barges in like an uninvited guest, bringing a suitcase full of “what-ifs” and worst-case scenarios.
The Midnight Thought Spiral
You know the drill:
- Heart racing like you’ve just run a marathon
- Sweaty palms
- That weird feeling of being simultaneously exhausted and wired
- Replaying conversations from weeks ago
- Imagining every possible terrible outcome
