Sleep changes

Closest connections · tap one to go there

Trouble falling asleep, waking in the night or sleeping far more than usual. Sleep shifts can show up alongside stress, cycle changes and some thyroid conditions, and ripple into energy and focus the next day.

You might notice

lying awake even when you're exhausted
waking in the night and not drifting back off
sleeping more but still waking tired
sleep that shifts in the days before your period
dragging through the day after a bad night

Who can help

Acupuncture, bodywork and somatic or mind-body practitioners all focus on helping your nervous system settle.
