There’s a particular kind of quiet that arrives at night—one that can feel soothing at first, and then strangely intense. The day finally releases you, the world slows down, and for a moment it seems like rest should be easy. And then, in that stillness, something inside you gets louder.
If you’ve experienced nighttime anxiety, sleep anxiety, or anxiety before sleep that doesn’t match the actual reality of your room, your bed, or your life in that moment, you’re not alone. Often, the nervous system at night isn’t creating danger—it’s revealing what it has been carrying. This episode is an invitation to meet that experience with curiosity, steadiness, and a kinder understanding of what your body has been trying to do for you.
