Tired but Wired? Here’s Why You Can’t Stay Asleep

2:17 AM. Eyes wide open. Again. I rolled onto my back, stared at the ceiling, and did the thing I swore I wouldn't do—checked the time. My brain took that as an invitation. Suddenly, I was replaying a patient conversation from earlier, stressing over a forgotten email, wondering if I should replay my sleep meditation app again. Meanwhile my boyfriend, Joe? Out cold. I wasn't just awake—I was alert, like I'd downed an espresso at midnight. And the worst part? I knew I'd feel foggy, exhausted, and snappy the next morning. Sound familiar? Here's the thing: your sleep struggles aren't just 'part of aging.' They're biochemical. 👉 Low progesterone? Your brain can't wind down. 👉 Cortisol too high at night? You'll be wired when you should be asleep. 👉 Blood sugar dips overnight? Your body wakes up in a mini stress response. No amount of melatonin is going to fix that. The good news? You can reset your sleep. Once you support your hormones properly, those 2 AM wakeups stop being a thing.
