This article explores the phenomenon of overtiredness, where exhaustion is coupled with a hyperactive brain, preventing sleep. It explains how this state disrupts the natural sleep-wake cycle and offers strategies to break free from the vicious cycle of overtiredness and insomnia.
Ever experienced that paradoxical state where you’re exhausted and just want to sleep, but your brain is racing through thoughts in overdrive and just won’t let you relax? — dpa
This state inhibits important processes such as the build-up of “sleep pressure” during waking hours. What’s more, getting too little sleep increases the likelihood of your brain becoming overstimulated by troubling thoughts the following night.
