Ever lie awake before something awesome? You’re Not Alone!
Long nights staring at the ceiling because of an upcoming adventure (trip, project, major life event)? Don’t worry, it’s ‘excitement-induced insomnia’, and it happens to a lot of people.

WHAT IS IT? (and science 🔬 behind it)
Positive anticipation can make your mind race, making sleep hard to catch. This ‘excitement-induced insomnia’ is caused by a hormonal response. The same adrenaline and cortisol that keep you alert and energetic during the day are now sabotaging your sleep at night!

HOW TO FIX IT:
📝 Write it out:
Write down your excitement or next steps to free up your mind.

😌 Chill out:
Relaxing activities (reading, calming music, warm bath) before bed can help.

📵 Turn off screens:
Blue light from devices disrupts sleep. Power down devices at least an hour before bed.

🧘 Calm your mind:
Deep breathing or meditation can quiet racing thoughts.

Luckily, this is usually temporary thing. But if it becomes chronic and disrupts your daily life, consult a doctor.
