Sleep: Awake - Middle of the Night (SOS)

Waking in the middle of the night with anxiety, alertness, or emotional intensity is a common nervous system response — especially during stress, recovery, or emotional processing. This gentle nighttime grounding practice supports your body in down-regulating without overstimulating the mind. Using slow breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, sensory safety cues, and compassionate awareness, you’ll help your nervous system settle so rest can return naturally. Ideal for middle-of-the-night anxiety, insomnia, nervous system activation, stress dreams, night waking, or difficulty falling back asleep. A calm, reassuring practice to support sleep regulation and nervous system recovery.
