Sleeping 8-10 hours every night but still waking up exhausted? You're not lazy, your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

In this episode, I break down exactly why you can spend half your life in bed and still feel like you got hit by a truck every morning. This isn't about sleep hygiene tips or buying a new mattress, it's about understanding what's actually happening in your body when chronic stress hijacks your sleep quality.

You'll discover:

• Why "just sleep more" doesn't work when your nervous system is dysregulated
• The cortisol rhythm flip that keeps you wired at night and dead in the morning
• How high-achievers accidentally burn out their body's "off switch"
• The deep sleep stages you're missing (and why that matters more than hours in bed)
• The gut-sleep connection that's sabotaging your rest without you realizing it
• A simple bedtime nervous system routine you can use tonight to signal safety to your body

This episode is for you if:

• You're sleeping 8+ hours but still need 3 coffees just to function
• You wake up with brain fog, body aches, or feeling worse than when you went to bed
• You've tried all the sleep hygiene tips and nothing has worked
• You're exhausted all day but get a "second wind" right at bedtime
• You're a high-achieving woman who's pushed through exhaustion for years

Your body isn't broken, it just needs different support than what you've been trying. Let's fix this.
