Ep. 92: Sleep & The Vicious Cycle for Sensitive Folks

Restless nights and overstimulated days, anyone?

There’s a complex relationship between high sensitivity and sleep. Heightened awareness, intense depth of processing, and the modern world bombarding our senses 24/7 makes for major over-stimulation, which can lead to poor quality sleep, insomnia, and feelings of restlessness.

Then, the tiredness the next day makes us even more susceptible to over-stimulation and the cycle repeats itself.

Sensitive folks really, really need good, quality sleep to restore their nervous systems and digest all that input they receive throughout the day!

You can break out of this cycle!

Today we're diving into a topic that I know many of you struggle with: the relentless cycle of poor sleep and over-stimulation that plagues those of us who are highly sensitive. I’ll share why this happens, what to do about it, and some tips you can start tonight to break this cycle!
