First, take comfort in knowing that a sudden 4-to-5-day disruption in your sleep is incredibly common and entirely reversible. You are experiencing an acute state of Sleep Hyperarousal driven by a stress loop.
When you experience overthinking or stress at night, your body releases cortisol and adrenaline (your fight-or-flight hormones). These stress chemicals directly block your brain's natural production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for making you feel sleepy and anchoring your biological master clock.
Because your brain associates your bed with frustration and overthinking rather than sleep, your internal clock (circadian rhythm) has temporarily shifted forward. This is a behavioral flare-up, not a permanent sleep disorder.
