Part 3/7:
Circadian Rhythm: Everyone has a unique internal biological clock that dictates sleep-wake cycles; this clock can vary significantly among different people.
Post-Trauma Effects: Traumas can activate a freeze response in the body, making waking up feel heavy and overwhelming.
Anxiety in the Morning: High cortisol levels, which are typically elevated first thing in the morning, can exacerbate feelings of anxiety, making it harder to start the day.
Depression: Many individuals coping with depression often find it challenging to rise from bed due to a pervasive sense of heaviness.
