The 3am Wakeups

The worst time to be a working mom?  It might be 3am, when you bolt awake with anxiety. What is it that's got so many of us waking up in a panic in the middle of the night?? For too many of us, it's the weight of the mental load. Those I-shouldn't-forget-this tasks that your brain decides to alert you to in the middle of the night. And although the mental load isn't the only "sleep stealer", it's rarely addressed as a cause of sleep problems. The 3am wakeups wreck your sleep. Night after night. And it's a downward spiral.  Because the worse your sleep gets, the fewer things you can actually do well the next day. And this opens up a crucial gap in our ability to do the work and caregiving that we want to do in the world. Learn how to tackle the 3am wakeups, for more restful nights and more productive days.
