# 191 Why Aphasia Caregivers Can't Sleep At Night

# 191 Why Aphasia Caregivers Can't Sleep At Night

The dream starts the way it always used to. The two of you walking the land. The lot near the lake. Talking about where the porch would go.

You can have a life you want beyond aphasia. It starts by taking your time back. Set boundaries so you can have the time and energy to move forward.

And then something shifts — the lumber is warping in the weather, the weeds are coming up through what was supposed to be your foundation, and the house was never built.

You wake up at 2am. Heart already going. Ceiling right there. Weight right there.

If your brain won't let you rest — not even in your sleep — this episode is for you.

Genevieve talks about what your brain is actually doing at 2am, what you lost that nobody names out loud, and what one handled thing could start to do for your nervous system tonight.

You don't need a sleeping pill.

You need a plan.
