Understanding the Stress-Sleep Cycle and How to Break It

The relationship between stress and sleep is deeply intertwined. Chronic stress elevates cortisol, disrupting the natural sleep-wake cycle and making it harder to fall and stay asleep. Conversely, sleep deprivation reduces your ability to cope with stress, creating a vicious cycle. For adults 35+, age-related shifts in hormone regulation can further complicate this dynamic.

At Solace Anchor, we empower you to understand your body's nervous system. Learn to activate your parasympathetic (rest and digest) system to counteract the sympathetic (fight or flight) overdrive that many accomplished adults experience daily. Mastering this fundamental connection is your first step towards sustainable well-being.
