Why does this happen? You’re dead tired. Nothing stressful in particular is on your mind. But you still haven’t fallen asleep. You try counting sheep, listening to white noise etc. Maybe you manage to reach some relaxed drowsy stage, only to somehow became fully alert again. What could possibly be keeping you awake; why does your body seem to be fighting the most obvious course of action: rest???

That’s hard to answer without having context. It can be due to a number of factors,
– Stimulant intake (caffeine)
– Light / time of day and circadian rhythm
– Running things over in your head, not allowing yourself to get on paper what tomorrow:s tasks are
– Overstimulation from what you’ve been doing
– Eating before sleep
Try the 4-7-8 breathing pattern.
