As a software engineer working long hours at my desk, I struggled with light, fragmented sleep and constant nighttime tension, dreading bedtime because I anticipated another night of restless staring at the ceiling. This persistent condition continued for around 6 months and negatively affected my overall quality of life.
I stopped consuming all caffeinated beverages after two in the afternoon, took a warm soothing shower before bed, and jotted down my pending thoughts in a nightly journal.
After several weeks, my nighttime awakenings ceased entirely, allowing me to experience deep restorative sleep and feel sharp and energized every morning.
