Practical Tools For Nighttime Waking & Racing Thoughts
With Vera PelgonenThis five-day course is about understanding what happens when sleep becomes difficult and learning practical ways to handle those nights. We’ll look at why we wake up during the night, what happens when racing thoughts and emotions take over, how noise and your sleep environment can affect you, and what you can do when you’re lying awake and sleep isn’t happening. I’ll also share things that have genuinely helped me, including breathing, relaxation, sound, and simple changes to your sleep environment. The aim isn’t to give you a perfect sleep routine or promise an overnight fix. It’s to help you understand your own patterns, experiment with different approaches, and build a few practical tools you can turn to when you need them. Each day is short and focused, with ideas you can take into your own life and try at your own pace.
A practical course with simple, realistic ways to handle night waking, racing thoughts, stress, and sleep disturbances.

Meet your Teacher
Vera created this course from her own experience with difficult sleep and nighttime waking. Having personally experienced racing thoughts, stress, and disturbances that can make it difficult to return to sleep, she has explored practical approaches that help her, including breath awareness, sound, music, relaxation, and creating a comfortable sleep environment. Her approach is based on personal experience, observation, and practical experimentation rather than presenting herself as a sleep specialist or medical professional. Through this course, she shares what she has found useful and encourages students to explore what works best for them.
