Is Working From Home Making It Harder To Sleep?

Remote work researcher and Insight Timer meditator Alexandra Samuel interviews Jennifer about how remote work has affected our sleep cycles. They discuss how Jennifer's approach to sleep goes beyond Yoga Nidra, how Yoga Nidra goes far beyond sleep, and what makes Yoga Nidra distinct from other relaxation practices. They also dive into ways of adapting and rethinking rest and activity cycles; mitigating the impact of 'screen time'; tuning into our ebbs and flows of energy; why waking up at night is not necessarily a problem; how we 'work' in our dreams; a useful way to scramble thoughts back into sleep; and why considering intentions and the deeper practice of Sankalpa is so powerful.

My takeaway: tune in to the ebbs and flows. Silly thoughts for switching off. Look in wards sleep is mediative. I love sleep. :) KEY: 5*Insightful 4*Interesting 3*Okay 2*Not For Me 1*Irritating

I know who I’m going to re-listen to tonight. Thank you.

Wildly helpful even now. I'll have to listen again though as I fell asleep somewhere before the end. Many thanks for posting this interview!

Very interesting. Everything of Jennifer’s is a revelation. She was one of my first discoveries on IT and has been important to me ever since. She’s a gifted teacher.

I really appreciated both this discussion and the information/resources provided. Much of it holds true not only for those working remotely from home but also for those (like me) doing academic programs largely from the home as well. Thank you for sharing this wonderful session with us here. I see you and the light within you. Be well. 🤲🏻💖🤲🏻
