When Grief Keeps You Up — and Sleepwalking

with Yasmina

What happens when grief doesn’t just break your heart — it breaks your sleep too?

In this episode, Yasmina, a British Moroccan, shares her story of loss — beginning with the stillbirth of her baby, followed by the loss of her granddad, her cousin, and the one loss that shook her the most — her mother. She speaks openly about how grief has shown up in the quiet hours of the night, leading to insomnia, restless nights, and episodes of sleepwalking.

We explore the unseen ways loss affects the body and mind, especially the struggle to rest when your heart is heavy. This is an honest conversation about grief, sleep, and survival — and how healing sometimes begins with simply closing your eyes.

Resources mentioned in this episode include support links for sleep health and sleepwalking.

Sound Note:
There are a few moments in this episode where the audio may not be as clear (especially with my psychotherapist audio). If you're listening on audio platforms, increasing your volume may help during these parts.

Thank you for your patience and understanding — the heart of the conversation remains so important, and I truly appreciate you listening. 🤎
