We are joined by Candace, a mother of three and former "super napper" who shares her sudden journey into insomnia and her eventual path to recovery. For years, Candace prided herself on her ability to sleep anywhere and catch up on rest with micro-naps, even while working night shifts and raising three children. However, a trip for her sister-in-law's wedding weekend acted as a "quick trigger" for her sleep struggles. Between a three-hour time difference, social anxiety, and being out of her routine, Candice experienced her first accidental all-nighter since her teenage years. The real struggle began when she realized she could no longer rely on the "good old nap" to save her. This realization pushed her into a cycle of "hundreds of fix-its" and constant "brain math," where she was perpetually calculating hours of wakefulness and searching for a solution.
