Restlessness can grip you like a vice during the night. Every noise becomes amplified, every shadow takes on a menacing form. You toss and turn, your mind racing, desperate for some elusive tranquility. Sleep, once a gentle refuge, has become a distant dream. The hours crawl by, each one an eternity of agony.
You long to escape this prison of your own mind, to drift into the welcome embrace of slumber. But, sleep remains just out of reach, leaving you drained and exhausted as dawn appears.
Untangling the Threads of Sleeplessness
Sleepless nights can slide in like shadows, stealing our energy and focus. The constant humming of worry and anxiety can keep us trapped in a restless cycle. But there are techniques to disrupt this pattern and reclaim our nights.
