Want to know how to sleep well again?
A client of mine had been having trouble sleeping.
For a whole host of reasons, her sleep quality and sleep patterns had been deteriorating for years.
She decided it was time to take charge and improve her relationship with sleep.
She was successful and shared what she did with me, and I’m very glad to be able to share some of what she learned and accomplished with you.
She decided to contact a doctor who specialized in sleep disorders.
Now what I’m about to tell you came as no surprise to me. Most of what was recommended fell into the category of REDUCING STRESS.
This included things like yoga, exercise, and meditation, along with reducing her intake of caffeine, alcohol and sugar (all things I’ve been recommending for years).
Other recommendations were changing the layout of her bedroom, removing the clock from her nightstand, not reading in bed and turning the lights off at the same time each night.
She also underwent testing and found out how many sleep hours she required.
We’re all different, so this was valuable information for her and she no longer needs to lay around in bed expecting to get more sleep. We’ve all had that experience of waiting for sleep to come. It can be very stressful!
Other blood tests showed chemical imbalances which indeed affect sleep patterns. She’s using supplements to fix those imbalances.
She’s regaining a healthy sleep routine and feeling much better.
She knows if her sleep feels off, she can look back over her checklist and make sure all these good ideas are in place.
Does your relationship to sleep need an overhaul?
Maybe it just needs a few tweaks.
In any case, think about what I’ve shared with you and see if any of it helps.
