Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every time I wake in the night I check the clock and immediately start the math
• It’s 2am and the clock has become a countdown
• After a rough night I sleep in to recover, and on weekends my schedule slides all over the place
• I sleep in for hours on weekends and then Monday morning feels like brutal jet lag I never flew anywhere for, and I lie awake at night even when I’m exhausted
• The second my head hits the pillow my mind starts up
