When the Night Holds You Awake: Gentle Ways to Welcome Rest

We’ve all felt it: the slow blink of the clock at 3 a.m., the mind wide awake while the body begs for sleep. That hollow tiredness the next day isn’t just physical—it’s a quiet ache for the peace we’ve been denied.

But here’s what no one tells you:
Waking at night isn’t failure.
It’s a whisper from your body—a language of need, rhythm, and care waiting to be understood.

The first gift you can give yourself? Listen.
Not with frustration, but with the same tenderness you’d offer a friend in the dark.
