Can’t Sleep Before a Big Presentation? Here’s What to Do

 

Ever found yourself tossing and turning the night before an important presentation or meeting?

 

If you're caught in a spiral of overthinking—rehearsing your content word for word, worrying about how you'll perform, and getting anxious about being anxious—this episode is for you.

 

You’ll learn:

  • Why pre-presentation insomnia is so common (you’re not alone!)
  • A simple 3-step recipe for what to do when you’re wide awake in the middle of the night

 

If sleep struggles are part of your speaking anxiety, this episode offers the tools and insight you need to rest easier—and speak with more clarity the next day.
