Why can’t I sleep before important events?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Tomorrow I host an important ceremony in a Grand Theatre and I have to travel from one city to another, I prepared lots of things, spent lots of money for everything to be great for this day and I can’t seem to sleep.

I will have to stand for hours on high heels whole day, and I can’t seem to force myself to sleep. I hate to imagine, I’ll look sleepless and tired tomorrow.

I will probably only get 3 hours sleep. I never have problems falling asleep. Why can’t I sleep before important events?

I wish I could sleep earlier and had gone there well rested.

You are excited and nervous and the more you obsess about it the worse it will get. Try and get some rest on the train, you will do fine. Looking forward to you telling the class how much fun you had.

You are nervous and excited, nervicited is the made up work for this, I don't think there's a cure so just try to fall asleep I guess 😂

Our body wants to make sure we don't miss an important event. It's fairly common to not sleep well the night before.

You're nervous assuming so need to feel more relaxed.
