Your heart might feel like it’s racing for no reason, or your mind starts spinning through a checklist of random tasks. You aren’t caffeinated, and you aren’t stressed about anything in particular. So why won’t your body let you sleep? The "Always-On" Brain: Why Shift Workers Can’t Sleep on Their Days Off

We’ve all heard the advice: "Just take a deep breath," "Try to meditate," or "Leave work at the door." But for first responders, medical professionals, veterans, and those dealing with high-stress environments, these "coping skills" often feel like trying to stop a runaway train with a handheld brake. You want to relax, you want to be present with your family, and you want to sleep—but your body won't let you. At Eos Health Center, we don’t view this as a lack of willpower.
