Waking up at crazy times?
4 a.m. wake ups aren’t random. They are your adrenal system’s red flare. Cortisol is supposed to be highest in the morning, gently nudging you awake with the sun. But in adrenal fatigue, the rhythm is altered. Stress and depletion push the alarm clock into the witching hours. We hit the awake cycle wired, but not clear. Heart racing, mind scanning for threats that aren’t there. This is the body running survival code on a flat battery. The fix isn’t more scrolling, more forcing, more pretending. It’s reclaiming rhythm, restoring boundaries, slowing the nervous system, feeding the body actual nourishment instead of constant cortisol hits. Waking at 4 a.m. is your signal. Not a failure, not exactly insomnia. It’s the system warning to stop leaking energy everywhere, and start repairing from the inside out. Start with a few conscious micro moments of inner peace today.
