If you’re waking up to pee multiple times a night, it might not just be a small bladder, aging, or “lady stuff.” It could be a sneaky sign of sleep apnea—especially in women, whose symptoms are often overlooked. In this post, we break down how disrupted breathing triggers those middle-of-the-night bathroom trips, why it gets dismissed in women, and what to do if this sounds familiar. (Spoiler: it’s not mouth tape.)

There’s a particular kind of loneliness that comes with being tired all the time—and not being believed. In this post, I share my journey from decades of shame and exhaustion to finally being diagnosed with narcolepsy. It’s about what it feels like to be tired in a way that others can’t see or understand—and why we need to start asking each other, “How’s your sleep?” Because sometimes tired is something more. And none of us should have to navigate that alone.

You know that first cup of coffee you count on to wake you up? Yeah… it might not be doing what you think. In this post, we break down what caffeine actually does (spoiler: it doesn’t “give” you energy), why that early cup might leave you groggy and jittery, and how to time your caffeine for max focus without wrecking your sleep.

Because sometimes the best productivity boost… is just waiting two hours.

Ever wake up feeling like your brain is still on airplane mode? That heavy grogginess is called sleep inertia, and while it’s normal occasionally, chronic foggy mornings could be your brain waving a red flag. In this post, we break down the sleep stages, why waking from deep sleep hits hardest, and when to suspect something more serious—like narcolepsy, sleep apnea, or circadian rhythm disruption.

Better mornings start here.

We don’t always talk about the moment burnout catches up with us—not because we’re weak, but because the version of success we’ve been sold isn’t sustainable. This post is a love letter to the pivot: the messy, quiet, necessary decision to rest before you break.

Because rest isn’t failure—it’s leadership. And no, you don’t have to earn it.

Snoring might be common, but that doesn’t make it harmless. In this post, we unpack why loud snoring, gasping, or frequent wake-ups aren’t just annoying—they’re potential red flags for sleep apnea, a serious health condition that affects 1 in 5 people (most of whom don’t even know it).

From what symptoms to watch for to how to start the conversation with your partner (ideally not at 2 a.m. while holding a pillow), this post breaks down everything you need to know—minus the shame and plus a little humor.

Because prioritizing your sleep isn’t just sexy—it’s survival.

Ever wonder why you snap awake at the tiniest noise? You can thank your ancestors—and today’s "lions" (aka deadlines and stress).
The good news? Sleep isn’t a pass/fail test. It’s a relationship you can nurture with a toolkit that actually works for you.
In this week’s Rest Assured, I’m breaking down why effort is the enemy of sleep, how to build a wind-down routine you actually want to stick to (yes, goats in pajamas are involved), and why waking up in the middle of the night doesn't mean you "failed" at sleeping.
Plus, a sneak peek at something big coming soon: Sleep Is The Power Move—an online course to help you stop glorifying exhaustion and start using sleep as your ultimate success tool.

When I was 16, I wasn’t just tired—I was desperately sleepy. It took 19 years to get a narcolepsy diagnosis. Then, at 41, I was also diagnosed with ADHD. That’s when everything clicked. Because here’s the truth most people never hear: ADHD and sleep disorders go hand in hand. Up to 80% of people with ADHD likely have a sleep issue too. If you’ve been told you're “just bad at sleeping,” it might be time for a second opinion—and a lot more support.

It’s 3:17 a.m. You’ve calculated you have exactly 3 hours and 43 minutes of potential sleep left—if, for the love of God, your brain would just shut the hell up. But instead of drifting off peacefully, you’re lying there wondering if you paid that bill, what your boss really meant by “Let’s circle back,” and why you wore that to that wedding in 2008.

Welcome to the Insomnia Olympics.

2025 has been a fever dream in slow motion. Full stop.

Democracy is teetering. The markets are tanking. The skies can’t decide between hurricane or heatwave. And just for fun, we’ve had four straight months of back-to-back retrogrades (astrology, for the currently confused). Cute.

So yeah, I fully understand the end-of-day pour. The glass of wine. The whiskey neat. The signal flare to your nervous system that you made it.

I love napping. Like, love love. I wear a “Good at Naps” necklace. Hell, I even have a whole Etsy store dedicated to it. It’s truly one of my favorite things.

I hear frequently: “I can’t nap, and I’m super jealous that you can.” And look, I get it. I’m jealous of people who can glance at carbs and still fit in their jeans. We all have our struggles.

But napping actually isn’t for everyone.

Some days I feel like the start of the pandemic was decades ago, and other days like it was yesterday. As we mark the five-year anniversary, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much has changed in my life.
