O que você irá aprender

Sleep is the most natural thing one can do, as natural as breathing, something we came into this world knowing how to do as we slept with ease as a baby. But what gets in the way as we age and have sleep issues? In this course, we get to the root of what would be preventing someone from sleeping with ease. This course is packed with research, concepts, and an understanding of your mind and body and how it all works for you to apply these lessons as a supplement with any long meditations or additional resources to make it fit for the unique person you are. There are a few short 3 to 5-minute meditations towards the end of three lessons. However, most of the course is meant to be taken in while awake to help you become aware of the key things getting in the way of sleep. This course has been created to help you get the source of any sleep disturbances. Because I believe knowledge is power, this course is packed with knowledge for you to be empowered to sleep with ease on your own or on top of any additional resources that have helped you.
