You may still be functioning — but no longer fully restored.You manage responsibility well. Others rely on you. From the outside, things appear stable. Yet switching off has become harder. Sleep is lighter. Energy is sufficient, but rarely replenishing. Recovery no longer feels automatic. Nothing is obviously “wrong”. But something no longer feels sustainable. This is not a motivation problem, nor a lack of discipline or resilience. In clinical practice, it is often a sign that the nervous system remains persistently activated, even when daily routines and health behaviours appear fine. When attention stays anchored in responsibility, vigilance, or self-monitoring, the body follows. Over time, this ongoing “on” state quietly affects sleep, energy, mood, recovery, and decision-making.OWLY exists to explore why this happens — and how it can change — without pushing harder.
