011 Ever crawl into bed completely exhausted, only to realize your brain is wide awake?

In this episode of The Busy Brain Do-Over, Candace walks you through what’s really happening when your body is tired but your mind refuses to stand down. You’ll learn why this isn’t a sleep failure or a discipline problem, and how to support your brain instead of fighting it.

This week’s Do-Over is a gentle reset for wired, frustrating nights, especially if your brain loves to replay, scan, and plan the moment your head hits the pillow.

You’ll learn:
• Why busy brains struggle to shut down at night
• How to name what your brain is still holding onto
• A simple way to close the loop without problem-solving
• How releasing pressure actually makes rest easier

You’re not bad at sleeping. Your brain just needs help transitioning out of the day.
