I’m honoured to be ‘mentioned in dispatches’ & glad the permission/reminder to bail is helpful. I’ve read that the 3ish awakening is often linked to cortisol. The Nagoskis in Burnout use the progressive muscle exercise as a way to “complete the stress response cycle” & particularly helpful for people whose health issues make more vigorous ‘exercise’ tricky. To manage 3am, I use the Headspace app. I find their ‘sleepcast’ stories help me get back to sleep more reliably and efficiently than anything else has.
Thank you for this note, Michelle. I'm honored you are a reader. Your newsletter is terrific, and I hope readers here subscribe. It's interesting to think about the reasons behind the 3 a.m. awakening. Now I'm curious about cortisol, Thank you too for your tip about Headspace. I have heard good things about it — maybe now is time to check it out!
