Here’s a short and helpful audio guide to get back to sleep!!

 

It’s 2 AM, and you’re wide awake—your mind racing, replaying conversations, stressing over the future, or just feeling unsettled. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Many of my clients (and myself) have been caught in this frustrating cycle, wondering why now?!

Why Does This Happen?

Your subconscious is always working behind the scenes, managing different “parts” of you—your professional self, your caregiver self, your overthinker self. And sometimes, when everything is quiet, a worried part decides it’s the perfect time to get your attention. It’s not trying to ruin your sleep; it’s trying to feel safe.

What to Do When Anxiety Hits at 2 AM

Instead of battling with your thoughts or spiralling further, try this:

✔ Acknowledge the anxious part of you. Imagine it like a scared child waking you up, looking for comfort.
✔ Reassure it. Gently tell yourself, I hear you. I will deal with this tomorrow, but not now.
✔ Mentally “bookmark” the thought. Picture putting it on a sticky note for morning—this signals your mind that it won’t be ignored.
✔ Shift your focus to calm. Take deep breaths, play relaxing music, or visualize peace.

 

Your subconscious isn’t the enemy—it just doesn’t understand that 2 AM isn’t the time for problem-solving. With practice, this mindset shift can help you break the cycle and finally get back to sleep.
