Me, staring at the ceiling when my body is exhausted but my brain is still in tornado mode.
You’re wiped, but your breath is shallow, your chest is a little buzzy, and your thoughts are sprinting through every mistake, worry, and what‑if.
Strategy 3 treats this as a nervous system issue, not a willpower failure—you’re not “bad at sleeping,” your brain is still in survival mode.
Nighttime becomes easier when you help your body feel safe first: slow 4‑7‑8 breathing or box breathing to signal “we’re okay,” Progressive Muscle Relaxation from toes to forehead to melt stored tension, and soft, steady music to soothe the emotional brain. Together, these tools help shift you from fight‑or‑flight into rest‑and‑digest so sleep becomes possible instead of a battle.
In Ultimate Toolkit to Rewire Your Anxious Brain, Dr. Rozina shares simple, science‑based night‑time calm routines using breathing, PMR, music, and more so over time, your brain starts to associate bed with safety and settling, not another round of the storm.
