You wake up just before 3am, and your mind is off and running
You fall asleep exhausted and then lie wide awake in the middle of the night. Not sweaty, not thirsty, just awake. And before you've even come to, your mind is already doing the math: appointments, your parents, your kid, the list.
Many women reflexively blame this on their hormones. But often there's a nervous system behind it too, one that can't find its way into rest mode at night because it never fully switches off during the day.
The good newsA nervous system can be deliberately wound down in the evening. Gentle acupressure on the sternum speaks to the vagus nerve and invites rest mode back in.
