The clinical guide to burnout, nervous system overload and the drip that actually helps.
You’re exhausted but you can’t sleep. Restless but unfocused. Caffeine barely touches the sides, and by 3PM, you’re either flatlining or spiralling. If this sounds familiar, you might be “tired but wired” — a nervous system pattern we’re seeing more than ever inside the clinic.
At Vitamin Cee Aesthetics & Wellness, clients often describe this as feeling like they’re in survival mode. They can’t wind down, they can’t wake up properly and their body is always slightly “on.” The science calls this HPA axis dysregulation. The experience? A confusing cocktail of fatigue, anxiety, brain fog and physical burnout.
What Does ‘Tired But Wired’ Actually Mean?
This phrase refers to a state of nervous system imbalance where your body is overstimulated and undernourished at the same time. Think of it as your foot being on the accelerator and the brake — constantly.
Common symptoms include:
Feeling fatigued during the day but struggling to sleep at night
Racing thoughts, nervous tension or irritability
Afternoon energy crashes or sugar cravings
Over-reliance on caffeine just to function
Low resilience to stress, minor illness or emotional overwhelm
Left unchecked, this pattern can lead to deeper issues: hormone imbalances, poor digestion, lowered immunity, and long-term burnout.
So What’s Causing It?
There is no single trigger — it is usually a combination of nervous system overload, nutrient depletion and lifestyle mismatch.
Clinically, we often see this linked to:
B vitamin deficiencies (especially B6, B12 and folate)
Low magnesium and electrolyte imbalances
Inadequate sleep quality despite time in bed
High cortisol and chronic sympathetic nervous system activation
Poor gut absorption or overuse of stimulants
The Fastest Fix? Replenish, Regulate and Reset
While long-term healing involves nervous system repair, blood sugar stability and lifestyle tweaks, there’s one treatment we use consistently to interrupt the pattern and bring the body back to centre.
