Cuando dijiste que dormías temprano( 2:00am)

As a mom, I completely relate to the experience of planning to sleep early and then finding yourself scrolling on your phone at 2:00 a.m. It’s a common cycle where physical exhaustion battles with an active mind. After a long day filled with nurturing and managing responsibilities, our minds often refuse to quiet down. This isn’t just about phone addiction; it’s a sign our brain is searching for a moment of peace and solitude. What helped me was understanding that sleep is not an on/off switch; it’s a gradual process of winding down that involves kindness toward yourself. Rather than fighting the quiet moments or feeling guilty about using technology late at night, I started incorporating calming rituals—like reading a few pages of a book, practicing gentle stretches, or using mindfulness meditation apps. The key is learning to let go of the day’s worries and embracing rest as an essential form of self-care. I also found comfort in reflective prayers and affirmations that bring inner peace, much like the verse from Psalms 4:8 reminds us to trust and feel secure. If you find yourself awake late, remind yourself that rest is a gift you give to your body and mind. Consider turning off screens an hour before bed and creating a soothing environment to support your transition to sleep. Remember, every mom deserves moments of calm and rejuvenation—sleep is not a weakness but a powerful act of loving yourself.
