At night, your body isn’t just resting — it’s taking cues. How you fall asleep signals your nervous system to either relax and recover or stay tense and alert. Bright lights, late-night scrolling, and cramped sleep positions can keep your body in stress mode, showing up later as fatigue, body aches, irritability, or that “off” feeling.
The fix doesn’t have to be dramatic. Dim the lights an hour before bed. Keep your phone out of reach. Sleep in a position that lets your spine lengthen and your chest stay open for deeper breathing. Small choices, repeated nightly, can gently retrain your body to finally unwind.
