@ajselfgrowth: Your body can be exhausted while your nervous system still refuses to clock out. Sometimes staying awake isn’t about energy. It’s about finally having a few hours that feel like yours. Save this if your “me time” always starts when you should be sleeping. If you’re trying to get your body out of survival mode, use the link in bio for my Nervous System + Cortisol Reset Blueprint.

Bool :

But then I spiral into an anxiety circle because if I don’t get sleep tomorrow will be so hard and I have so many things to do and obligations and now I’m having a full on panic attack

zx6r.gar :

So how do I fix it

Belinda Rosales :

That's Ginny with her POTS 😞

cyn♡ :

How do I fix it asking for a friend i am tired of living in survival mode it is exhausting 😭

adam831900 :

This is true, but then I struggle with sleeping because my anxiety wakes me up multiple times a night anticipating when it’s time to wake up to go through the daily punishment of existence.

andrewdolan2 :

This anxiety is killing me boys. I’m tired of being in a constant state of fight or flight.

Paige :

But then the mom guilt sets in, I think about everything I did wrong, said wrong, or how I didn’t spend enough time with him and then I sit here beating myself up giving my nervous system a new thing to worry about and deal with

arri.atari🍒🏍️👌🏼🌀 :

Me scrolling happily at 3:30am after complaining all day abt being tired

JustaGirlinMN :

This is me staying up way too late at night “reclaiming” hours from my day but then exhausted the next day.

b a i l e y :

And what do I do with that time? Sit on my phone & doom scroll & regret it every night

Donovan • Lovers :

So this is why I’m up til 3am every night

itzbryonnayo :

Hmm maybe that’s why I’m so tired all the time & then have insomnia at night

penelopetravers777 :

Oh bro you nailed my life at the min 😂

Clarissa :

Me at this very moment

Forestfriendly :

Yes! And the. You want to be a night owl and stay up all night to cherish the alone time but you have to work the next day and you’re dead. #nurse

cheez_oldoinyolengai :

I've been this way for decades, I suggest sleeping twice a day. 2am-6am. 6pm-10pm. Function through the day and enjoy your night. No more guilt or anxiety. 🥰

Lyra 💚 and Sasha 💜 :

I call it life. its exhausting

Alondra :

This but when your kids finally go to sleep

Naomi :

It’s awful, but so relatable

Lxis :

Mrs~Wilson24 :

literally me right now

cher.shroom🍄‍🟫🌅 :

I am also born in the night and have always been a night person in general but stress and anxiety making much worse.

Maji Lune :

That is why I stay up after everyone goes to bed and I get up before anyone else. The only times during the day when I am not doing for others.

Katieeee :

Then you’re exhausted the next day and the cycle repeats.

Suthrn :

This is what it feels like being a mom. I'm so exhausted by 9pm if I don't go to bed ASAP I will be up all night and only finally feel tired again when it's time to wake up with my baby. At this point I have accepted to just force myself to go to sleep, I may not have any time to myself except my sleep and dreams but as a mom I can't function being so tired.
