Sleep Wisdom From The Past

Von Mandy Sutter

Was du lernen wirst

We'll be taking a look at the fascinating writings of 19th-century writer and lawyer Bolton Hall. You can decide whether his nuggets of wisdom - and those of other great thinkers like the inventor Thomas Edison - are relevant to you today. We will also look at wakefulness as something valuable rather than a nuisance.

Lektion 1

Letting Go Of Expectation

In this lesson, we look at the sleep schedules of some of the great leaders in history, like Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci. We also look at their attitudes towards sleep.

Lektion 2

Letting Go Of Anger

In this lesson, we look at what Bolton Hall says about the liminal space between waking and sleeping and how we can use it to help ourselves get a better night's sleep.

Lektion 3

Letting Go Of Ego

In this lesson, we look at another great thief of sleep - a feeling we sometimes get of being vital to the running of things. We discuss how to counteract it and take a look at the perils of over preparation.

Lektion 4

Embracing Monotony

In this lesson we take a look at the repetition of mundane actions, sensations and stimuli, and explore their role in helping us fall asleep. We also hear about some strange mechanical devices that 19th century inventors came up with to induce sleepiness!

Lektion 5

Embracing Wakefulness

In this lesson, we explore the idea of accepting 'what is' by considering the benefits and potential beauty of wakefulness and look at whether it could be trying to tell us something.

Very interesting ideas, sadly the last doesn’t work for me, almost 20 years of insomnia is purely debilitating, no matter what positive spin I try to put on it 😵
