Being sleepy affects the executive functions of the brain, which includes emotional regulation.
What does that mean?
It means when I'm sleepy my emotions can be all over the place.
And it affects your inhibitions so if I'm not mindful - I can say things that cut like a knife...
For most of my life, I justified my anger and I paid for that in the quality of my relationships - especially the one with myself.
Two things that really help me with this
- in the beginning when i was just starting, I would tell myself to have a nice steamy mug of STFU. it made me laugh and would help 'break the spell' while also reminding me not to talk to anyone until my dopamine came online.
The second is to refocus from the tantrum my brain is having and state aloud 3 things that i see that i love. I love coffee. I love these socks. I love that plant.
Seems silly and simple but when you're stuck in the suck it can help refocus that into love and it's not easy to love people when we're jacked up lol so express the love for things and you still fill yourself with love.
