Listen Later

EP58. Tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling, watching the clock tick closer to morning—sound familiar? If you’re exhausted all day but wired at night, your body isn’t broken, but your sleep cycle might be.

In this episode we’re breaking down the real reasons behind your sleep struggles and—most importantly—how to fix them with a simple, science-backed wind-down routine that works with your body, not against it.

If you’re tired of waking up groggy and dragging yourself through the day, this episode will give you the tools to break free from the cycle of stress-induced sleep struggles. You’ll learn why traditional sleep aids often fail, how your body’s stress response is sabotaging your rest, and what simple shifts you can make tonight to start seeing real improvements.

This isn’t just about sleep—it’s about your energy, mood, metabolism, and overall well-being. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by restless nights, unexplained fatigue, or the constant need for caffeine to function, you won’t want to miss this.

This episode will give you the step-by-step evening strategy to break the cycle of poor sleep and finally wake up feeling refreshed and energized. 

Let’s dive in!
