Sleep Deprivation in Motherhood: How Exhaustion Affects Your Nervous System & Parenting

“Before I became a mother, I thought I understood tiredness. The kind that comes from late nights or busy work weeks. But the exhaustion of early motherhood lives in a completely different realm. Sleep loss in motherhood is not just ‘being tired’, it is a nervous system event.

A Journey I Know Deep in My Bones.

After 11 years of infertility, I finally became a mother to wildly openhearted twins. I was flooded with love… and also completely overwhelmed. Sleep-deprived and anxious, I found myself facing an unexpected inner reckoning. Old patterns and unhealed parts of me began rising to the surface, quietly shaping how I was showing up with my children (patterns I thought I had a good handle on with pre kids mind you!!).

It was confronting, tender, and disorienting. But thankfully, I had a deep foundation in somatic therapy, meditation, and time in nature to lean into. These practices have helped and continue to help me return to myself gently and slowly, from the inside out.

Motherhood cracked me open in ways I never could have prepared for. It became a sacred transition not just into a new role, but into a deeper, more embodied version of myself. A descent into truth, where nothing could be bypassed, and everything was an invitation to meet myself more honestly.

Hi, I’m Lauren Howe - Somatic & Eco Therapist and Meditation Teacher.

I created this corner of the internet as a soft landing place for other mothers navigating this sacred transitions and the quiet or extreme changes that life brings. Because I know the exhaustion of trying to “get it right” while feeling completely undone by it all.

This isn’t about being a perfect parent…it is far from it. It’s about being a vulnerable, connected, and present one. It’s about remembering that these transitions don’t just shape our relationships with our children, they ask us to include ourselves too. Our needs, our nervous systems, our grief, our joy, and the whole story of who we are becoming (and letting go).

What I have learnt is that when we leave ourselves out of the process especially the tender, messy, emotional parts we lose connection to the very thing we’re trying to offer our children: presence, truth, and compassion.
