Real Talk: Sleeping When You're Scared

Ever get so freaked out at night that sleep feels impossible? Yeah, I’ve been there too. First things first—try to figure out what’s actually making you anxious. Sometimes just naming the fear takes away some of its power. Next, make your room feel safe and cozy. I swear by a little nightlight and my favorite blanket. Experts from Sleep Foundation say routines help, so I do the same chill playlist and a bit of deep breathing every night. If your mind won’t quit, jot down your worries in a notebook. Or, like Mayo Clinic suggests, distract yourself with a calming podcast. Remember, everyone gets scared sometimes. It’s totally normal, and you’ve got this! #SleepTips #NighttimeAnxiety #RestEasy #Health #Wellness
