STRESS, SLEEP & BURNOUT

Chronic stress, poor sleep, burnout

Exhausted but can't sleep. The mind won't shut off, rest doesn't restore, and the body stays in overdrive no matter what.

Stress, Sleep & Burnout Approach

How We Approach Stress, Sleep & Burnout

From recognition to measurement to action—no guessing.

RECOGNITION

Who This Is For

Who This Is For

People who feel tense, wired, or unable to slow down. Sleep feels light, broken, or not refreshing — even when you're tired.

Common Signs

You wake up tired even after sleeping
Your mind races at night or won't turn off
You feel wired and tired at the same time
Stress feels constant, even during downtime
You rely on caffeine to get through the day
Rest doesn't recharge you anymore

The Pattern

Exhausted but can't sleep. The mind won't shut off, rest doesn't restore, and the body stays in overdrive no matter what.

PATTERNS

What This Often Means

What This Often Means

Burnout isn't just about being tired.

Common Causes

Your nervous system stays in stress mode
Your body doesn't shift into rest and recovery
Sleep quality is poor even when you sleep
Your stress response never fully turns off

What Affects Stress and Sleep

How your nervous system switches between stress and rest
How your body recovers overnight
How stress hormones affect sleep quality
How your breathing patterns influence your state
How your daily rhythm supports or disrupts recovery
MEASUREMENT

What We Look At During Assessment

What We Look At During Assessment

To understand why your body won't slow down, we look at things like:

What We Measure

How your body reacts to stress
How quickly your body calms down after effort
How well your body recovers overnight
How breathing and heart rhythm respond to load
How daily demands affect your system

This helps us see why rest doesn't feel restful.

APPROACH

Tools That May Be Used

Tools That May Be Used

Not everyone uses the same tools. They are chosen based on your data—not a preset plan.

Based on What We Find

Guided breathing and nervous system support
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)
Light-based recovery support
Vibration training
Gentle, data-guided movement strategies

Important to Know

This path does not include hands-on treatments such as:

Massage therapy
Chiropractic adjustments
Osteopathic treatment

If hands-on care is needed, it can be accessed separately through clinical care.

CLARITY

Why We Start With Assessment

Why We Start With Assessment

Stress and sleep issues can have different root causes.

The Problem with Guessing

Two people with the same symptoms can have completely different causes:

One person's nervous system might be stuck in stress mode
Another person's sleep quality might be the issue
Someone else might not be recovering between stressors

The Solution

We don't guess. We measure how your nervous system and recovery work before deciding what makes sense to try next.
