16. Tired But Wired? How to Finally Sleep Through the Night
Have you ever been exhausted at the end of the day…only to find yourself lying in bed wide awake? Or maybe you finally drift off, but at 2 or 3am, you wake up with your mind racing and no chance of settling back down.
You’re not “bad at sleep.” What’s really happening is your circadian rhythm is out of sync, and your evening habits may be the culprit.
In this episode of the Nourish to Thrive Podcast, we’re digging into:
✓ Why cortisol and melatonin work like a see-saw and how modern habits keep them stuck.
✓ The 4 biggest evening mistakes that sabotage your rest (and how to flip them).
✓ Simple shifts you can make tonight to finally sleep through the night.
✓ My own evening rhythm (and why it’s not perfect...but it works for me).
✓ A faith-rooted reminder that rest isn’t weakness...it’s obedience.
If you’ve been longing for deeper, uninterrupted sleep, these simple evening shifts could change everything.
