The Tired-But-Wired State

Theo Grant

Ten o'clock arrives and the body is heavy, the eyes ache, and yet somehow midnight finds you staring at the ceiling, mind humming like a light left on. This is what closes that gap: the cortisol timing that flips wired after a day of pushing through tired, the evening habits that quietly signal alarm instead of rest, and a wind-down sequence built to work with your body's clock rather than against it. Grounded, specific, and genuinely useful when night stops making sense.
