Wide Awake at 3 A.M.? Here’s What Your Brain is Trying to Tell You

We've all been there—staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m., our minds running a marathon of overthinking. Did I lock the front door? Should I have taken that other job? How is it possible that I still don’t have it all figured out? If I dropped this episode at 3 a.m., I bet some of you would actually be awake to listen.

But what if these middle-of-the-night wake-ups aren’t just annoying?

What if they’re actually trying to tell you something?

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why your brain wakes you up at the worst possible time (Hint: It’s science, not sabotage.)
• How to know if your 3 a.m. thoughts are worth listening to (or just late-night nonsense).
• My 3-step clarity check to separate real insights from middle-of-the-night drama.
• What to do next—how to reframe, take small actions, and actually use those wake-up calls to your advantage.

So before you spiral into a rabbit hole of overthinking, let’s turn these 3 a.m. moments into something that moves you forward.
