Even with perfect habits, some nights are just hard. Whether you’re anxious, overstimulated, or simply wired from the day, this lesson gives you tools for the nights when rest won’t come easily. You’ll learn breathing techniques that shift your nervous system into parasympathetic mode, contract-relax methods to quiet your body, and guided journaling prompts to help release looping thoughts or unspoken stress.

The goal isn’t to force sleep—it’s to create the conditions for rest and respond with compassion instead of frustration. This lesson helps you reframe sleepless nights from failure to feedback, and equips you with techniques that support your nervous system even when sleep feels out of reach.
