Hey friend,  Do you ever feel exhausted even after getting a full night of sleep? Have you ever wondered if your nighttime habits might be keeping your nervous system alert? Could small changes to your nighttime environment help your body get deeper, more restorative sleep? I’m Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you’re dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you’re not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. Many moms struggle with sleep issues, fatigue, and feeling like their nervous system never fully settles at night. In this episode, I talk about several small nighttime habits that may be quietly keeping your body in alert mode instead of allowing it to fully rest and recover. We discuss phone proximity during sleep, blue light exposure, notifications during the night, and the “on-call” mindset many moms carry into bedtime. You’ll learn simple ways to adjust your nighttime environment so your nervous system can move into deeper, more restorative sleep.
