In this episode you will learn:
How our attempts to control our sleep can have paradoxical effects
Two behavioral approaches to insomnia that get your life back from tossing and turning
Common thinking patterns that get in the way of us sleeping
Why willingness and acceptance are key to ending our struggle with sleep
- Sleep restriction – only allowing yourself to be in bed for the amount of time you sleep on average until you build up
- Sleep intervention (?) – getting out of bed and leaving the room when you can’t sleep after 20 minutes
- Willingness is key (willingness to try techniques, willingness to sleep)
- Change your mindset around sleepless nights to reduce the pressure you put on yourself to sleep — it’s not that bad to go without sleep one night, you’ll be fine
