Does anyone else struggle with being able to sleep? I feel like separation is causing insomnia for me. I used to have no problem sleeping, but since our most recent separation, I’m sleeping so little. Waking up multiple times a night and just feeling the energy with them that I can’t control.
Does anyone else have this? Is this part of the balancing process?

Incredibly common. Incredibly frustrating.
Your energetic systems started synchronizing when you connected, and now they’re in discord. Insomnia is often a spill-off from your telepathic connection. During the day, this can get dulled into the background by the 3D world and its many, many distractions. At night, we can feel their presence missing a lot more, and there’s less to distract us from it.
The 3-5am window is when the veil thins. Your energy body is trying to connect with their higher self during sleep - that’s its natural state when it’s free from conditioning. But your physical body needs rest, so you’re caught between these two needs.
What you’re describing with feeling their energy and not being able to control it - that’s the heart chakra activation creating this sense of fullness in your chest that makes settling down nearly impossible. Some twins feel actual heart palpitations that jolt them awake, even when they do fall asleep.
This is part of the balancing process, but I know that doesn’t make the exhaustion easier. Your body is trying to handle new energetic loads it wasn’t built for.
Insomnia comes and goes. It can even be a good sign because it might be a sign that you (or your twin) is very actively working through something.
For what it’s worth… both of you are going through this, even if they’re not aware of what it means. I think every runner we’ve ever had talk about the experience afterward mentions insomnia.
The runner thinks about you constantly, too - they just don’t understand the spiritual mechanics. When you’re lying awake obsessing over them, they feel that energy as intrusive. When they’re feeling guilty or trying to suppress their feelings, you wake up in distress. It’s a feedback loop. The duration varies a lot. For some, they get it for a few days, while others go through months of poor sleep. It usually comes in waves rather than being constant - peaks during energy upgrades, when either twin has a breakthrough, during gateway events like eclipses or full moons.
This should go without saying, but if it keeps happening, get yourself checked out with the doctor. True insomnia is no joke.
The intensity tends to be worse right after separation and during dark night of the soul periods. It generally improves when healing progresses and especially after the surrender phase. When the chaser withdraws their energy to focus on themselves, both twins get energetic relief. The runner gets room to contemplate, and the chaser stops draining themselves.
I relate to this. I’ve been trying meditation sounds and sleep frequencies, but I’m still wide awake until at least 1 am. Then my eyes just snap open around 3 am like clockwork. My body has its own schedule now that has nothing to do with what I want. The 3 am wake-up is the worst because that’s when the energy feels the strongest, there’s this invisible thread pulling at your consciousness.
I think our energetic systems are so activated during separation that even when we try to use tools to calm down, we’re still operating at this heightened frequency that doesn’t match normal sleep patterns.
I relate to the insomnia - it’s been brutal for me too. When my twin pulled away this time, the sleepless nights started almost immediately. I’ll be lying there at night, feeling this intense energetic pull that won’t let me rest, and the tears just come. I think when they’re dealing with their own demons (addiction in my case), we somehow absorb some of that chaotic energy, especially at night when our defenses are down. My body literally won’t settle because I can feel him struggling, even from a distance. Like our nervous systems are still connected even when we’re apart.
Some nights I just let myself cry it out instead of fighting it. Not sure if that’s the ‘balancing’ you mentioned, but it does feel like something is changing.
I can relate, the past couple of weeks have been brutal for me too with the sleep disruptions. I’ve been waking up at 3:33 and 4:44 almost every night, and the energy feels so intense that falling back asleep is nearly impossible. My body just can’t settle during these hours.
Oh YES! I thought I was the only one dealing with this!
It happens even when we’re in contact, not just during separation. The energy connection is strong enough that being physically together or apart doesn’t seem to matter for the sleep. Like maybe when they finally decompress and their mind settles, that’s when I feel this surge of energy that jolts me awake? I don’t know, I’m still trying to figure it out.
If I just lie in bed and wait to fall asleep I get the ear ringing sign too and that always seems to come with the insomnia.
Yeah, this happens to me too. Woke up at 1:11 this morning actually. I don’t really know what causes it but the timing always feels weirdly specific when it happens.
Yeah, I’ve been dealing with this too. I kept trying to meditate and do energy work to fix my sleep, but our bodies go through hormonal changes when we’re with someone and then suddenly separated from them. The chemical bond is real. There’s biological withdrawal happening.
I barely sleep during gateway events - eclipses, equinoxes, all that. The downloads are insane during those times. It’s like my brain is being used even though I’m not consciously thinking. Last month, I got endless spiritual information that I had to write down for hours each day just to process it. My divine team decided that if I wasn’t setting aside time during the day, they’d wake me to give me guidance instead. That’s when I started to meditate before bed specifically to receive messages so they’d leave me alone at night.
The brain rewiring feels like background noise that’s too loud to sleep through. Changes to the actual wiring as part of the body upgrade process.
I keep wondering if we can actually set boundaries with their energy at night, or if that’s just resistance to the process.
I remember reading somewhere that dreams are where TFs can communicate freely because there are no 3D blockages in the way. So… would insomnia be the telepathic version of going no-contact because you can’t communicate in that way…
2 or 3 nights like this every month and it does my head in. I have work in the mornings and I’m just lying here feeling their energy. My twin is such a night owl and I swear I feel when he’s up thinking
My kundalini awakening destroyed my sleep for a while before it sort of settled down. I think meeting your twin is one of the fastest ways to trigger it, and when that energy rises up through your spine and all your chakras, you can forget about a good night’s sleep for a while.
I went from needing 8 hours to… “functioning” on 4, but not in a good way. I was exhausted but couldn’t sleep. Body temperature all over the place, pressure in my head and dizziness. The heart chakra has a tendency to overheat in twin flame connections anyway, but add Kundalini on top and you get chest pain and palpitations that wake you up.
Your body is learning to handle these new energetic loads. Eventually it adapts.
I think it might be connected to the heart chakra or solar plexus? Maybe that’s why some of us feel physical sensations in our chest when we can’t sleep. My heart races sometimes when I wake up, and I think it could be their energy reaching out, but I’m not sure if it’s them or just my own anxiety responding to the separation.
