The Night Before the Big Day: Settling nerves when tomorrow matters

June Alderwood

Sleep can feel furthest away on the one night you need it most, with a wedding, a surgery, an interview, or a first day waiting on the other side. This is the steady companion for that particular kind of restless: why the mind races harder before something important, how to quiet the mental rehearsal loop, gentle steps to settle the body, and a simple way back to sleep if you wake at three worrying. Calm, grounded, and ready when tomorrow matters.
