There’s a difference between sleeping… and actually resting.
This season has tested me in ways I didn’t expect. Heartbreak has a way of showing up at night—when the distractions are gone, when your body is still, and your mind refuses to be. I remember laying in bed wondering how this was going to affect my body… my hormones… my nervous system. Because we all know: sleep sets the tone for everything—your energy, your emotions, your resilience. And when life feels unstable, the fear isn’t just losing sleep. It’s losing yourself in the process.
That’s why I’ve leaned even harder into what’s been a non-negotiable for me for years: magnesium.
I take it two hours before bed—not as a quick fix, but as a signal to my body: You’re safe. You can slow down now. And lately, I added Core-21 back in because heartbreak doesn’t just live in your thoughts. It spikes cortisol. It keeps your nervous system on edge. It traps you in fight-or-flight. That combination has been a game changer.
Not just “I slept.” But deep sleep. Restorative sleep. The kind where you wake up and your body actually feels like it repaired something overnight. Because here’s the truth: You can think you’re sleeping…until you experience what quality sleep actually feels like. '
If you’re in a hard season—emotionally, mentally, hormonally—do yourself a favor: Don’t wait until you’re burnt out to take care of your nervous system. Have it on standby. Protect your sleep. Protect your healing. I use what I trust. I share what works. And if this season has taught me anything, it’s that rest isn’t optional when you’re rebuilding yourself.🖤
Take control and get these baddies in your hand!!!
