health / sleep/insomnia

Blue light from screens can disrupt your body's natural sleep cycle.

Chronic sleep issues may lead to serious health problems over time.

I adjusted the room temperature, but comfort eluded me once again.

I breathed in for four and exhaled a small essay

I closed my eyes, envisioning a peaceful scene, but rest eluded me.

I counted sheep that unionized for better hours

I declared tonight the night sleep finally remembers me

I did gentle stretches that woke up my curiosity

I drank warm milk, hoping for sleep, but my mind stayed alert.

I dreamed about sleeping and woke up impressed

I felt exhausted, yet my mind buzzed with worries that kept me awake.

I flipped my pillow like it held the secret settings

I focused on my breathing, yet my thoughts continued to spiral.

I journaled my thoughts until they waved back

I lay awake, counting sheep while the clock ticked relentlessly on.

I listened to rain sounds that reminded me of deadlines

I listened to sleep podcasts, yet they only fueled my racing mind.

I longed for a good night’s sleep, but insomnia became my companion.

I made tea I forgot to drink

I negotiated with my brain to stop replaying the day

I practiced yoga before bed, but my thoughts remained chaotic.

I promised myself a nap like a plot twist

I read a book to relax, but the words blurred as I fought to stay up.

I scrolled sleep tips until the sun submitted evidence

I set a bedtime alarm that I respectfully ignored

I set an early alarm, knowing I needed to sleep, but couldn’t.

I sipped herbal tea, hoping it would lull me into a peaceful sleep.

I stared at the ceiling, replaying conversations from the past week.

I switched off my phone, but the silence only heightened my anxiety.

I tracked my sleep and graphed my overthinking

I tried chamomile and achieved pleasant wakefulness

I tried deep breathing exercises, but they only heightened my stress.

I tried lavender and smelled like bedtime optimism

I tried meditation, but my mind raced with thoughts of the day ahead.

I tried various sleep aids, but nothing seemed to work for me.

I turned off screens and stared at the ceiling in HD

I turned off the lights, yet my mind remained ablaze with ideas.

I watched the sunrise with mixed reviews

I wished for sleep to come, but instead found myself wide awake.

I woke up before my alarm out of spite

I wore an eye mask that turned into a thinking cap

Many people struggle with insomnia due to anxiety and racing thoughts.
