If you're dealing with insomnia or poor sleep, you may be experiencing:
 

  • Difficulty falling or staying asleep – No matter how tired you feel, your mind won’t shut off.

  • Waking up too early – You can’t seem to stay asleep, leading to exhaustion.

  • Racing thoughts and anxiety at bedtime – Your mind replays stress, keeping you wide awake.

  • Tossing and turning all night – Sleep feels restless and unrefreshing.

  • Daytime fatigue and low energy – Simple tasks feel harder due to lack of sleep.

  • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating – Poor sleep affects memory, focus, and mood.

These struggles are common but they don’t have to control your nights.

Right now, every night might feel like a struggle: lying awake with your mind racing, waking too early or finding it hard to fall back asleep. The days can feel like a blur; you wake feeling exhausted, tense and unable to focus. Perhaps you’ve tried different remedies or sleep apps but nothing seems to help for long and you just want to sleep naturally again.
