Lying in bed for 4-6 hours, watching the clock, calculating how little sleep you're getting
Jolting awake right as you're falling asleep, heart pounding, body shaking, feeling like you're never going to rest
Dreading nighttime, feeling actual panic as bedtime approaches because you know what's coming
Being exhausted all day but "tired and wired" at night, unable to relax even though your body is desperate for sleep
Feeling like a complete mess at work, during interviews, or on important days because you're running on 2-3 hours of broken sleep
Trying meditation, breathing exercises, supplements, and sleep hygiene rules that occasionally help but never consistently work
Falling asleep within 20-30 minutes because your nervous system actually feels safe and ready for rest
Sleeping through the night (or quickly returning to sleep if you wake) without the panic and racing thoughts
Looking forward to bedtime as a time of peace and restoration instead of torture and frustration
Waking up feeling actually rested, with mental clarity and energy to handle your day
Showing up as your best self for important events because you got good sleep the night before
Having a toolkit of techniques that work consistently, even on nights when anxiety tries to creep back in
