Sleep Struggles, Deja Vu & Total Chaos | Beaches Unleashed Episode #1

Is Anyone Actually Sleeping Anymore?

It started, as all good chaos does, with one question: Who else can’t sleep right now?

Every single one of us raised our hands.

Between the time change, the early sunsets, and the kids who refuse to honor “extra hour” rules, no one’s sleeping and everyone’s slightly feral.

Fran’s over in the UK trying to stay awake past 3 p.m. without toothpicks holding her eyelids up.

Meanwhile, in the States, it’s dark before dinner, and every mom on the call is wondering how we got trapped in an eternal 5:30 p.m. twilight zone.

The truth? Daylight Savings is the world’s biggest scam.

We lose sleep, our kids wake up earlier, and suddenly it feels like bedtime at 6 p.m. while we’re still cooking dinner.

We all agreed it’s complete madness – yet somehow, every year, we act surprised when it wrecks our lives again.

And don’t even get us started on the immunity thing.

The time change hits, the germs start circulating, and before you know it, half the family’s down with the “seasonal plague.”

Conclusion: No one’s okay.

But at least we’re all not-okay together.

Fran’s Nightmare or Netflix Plot?

Then came the dream. Oh, the dream.

Fran woke up in a panic after what can only be described as a government-conspiracy-meets-action-thriller-nightmare.

There were drones, hidden cameras, secret towns, and an escape that started on a bus that turned into a boat. (Yes, you read that right.)

She jumped off the boat, swam to shore, snuck into her own house under surveillance, and eventually ended up living in a new town – all while trying to find her daughter and avoid the authorities.

The rest of us? Crying laughing.

“Fran, that’s not a dream,” Adrian said. “That’s a Netflix original waiting to happen.”

We decided it’s called Franville, coming soon to a UK town near you.

Somewhere between the fear of being “tracked by drones” and Fran's husband showing up asleep on a rowing machine, it became clear: the dream wasn’t about the government.

It was about stress. The kind that sneaks into your subconscious and turns your worries into blockbuster scripts.

Still, if Hollywood’s listening – we’ll happily take producer credits.

Are We All Losing It or Is This Deja Vu?

Once we stopped laughing (sort of), the conversation spiraled into a talk about dreams, deja vu, and whether we’re all slowly losing our grip on reality.

Turns out, we’ve all been having weird, vivid dreams lately – the kind that feel so real you wake up sweating.

Maybe it’s the lack of sleep, maybe it’s energy shifts, maybe it’s Stranger Things marathons.

Who knows.

Cari confessed she’s been running from Demogorgons in her sleep.

Fran swears she’s being watched by drones.

And Adrian keeps getting déjà vu so often she’s convinced we’re all living the same week on repeat.

It’s that strange blend of humor and honesty that somehow makes you feel… seen.

Because let’s face it, between exhaustion, anxiety, and the general weirdness of life right now, we’re all having our “Truman Show” moments.

But hey, at least we can laugh about it while questioning everything.

Beaches Unleashed: The Chaos You Didn’t Know You Needed

By the end, we realized this episode was something different. Something fun. Something… unleashed.

We didn’t plan it. We didn’t script it.

We just showed up – tired, real, a little weird – and hit record.

And honestly? It felt good.

Sometimes, you need to step away from strategy, systems, and serious conversations and just connect – to laugh, to vent, to share the kind of nonsense that makes you feel human again.

So here’s to more off-the-cuff chaos, wild dreams, and conversations that go absolutely nowhere but somehow make your day better.

Because if the Beaches have learned anything from Daylight Savings, bad dreams, and déjà vu, it’s that a little laughter can fix almost anything.
