Ep 65. “My Body Will Remember How to Sleep” — Emily's Story
Emily’s insomnia started with a single sleepless night. She’d stayed up late before, but always on purpose. This time, the choice wasn't hers. And that loss of control left her feeling scared, confused, and convinced something inside her must be broken.
What followed next was a cycle she didn’t understand: long nights, constant clock-watching, dread as the sun went down, and days shaped entirely around preventing another bad night. She turned to movement, routines, and eventually medication, but nothing brought lasting relief.
Sleep became the center of her life.
Her turning point came when she realized she couldn’t keep rearranging her world around insomnia. Inside the mentorship, she learned about hyperarousal, let go of rigid rules, and began loosening her grip on sleep.
Slowly, her nervous system settled. What once had her spiraling felt less threatening over time.
Eventually, trust came to the forefront again. Her insight captures it perfectly:
“Of course my body will remember how to sleep.”
Today, sleep is no longer something she chases. It happens naturally while she lives her life.
Enjoy! 🧡
