The Sleepy You Course - How To Move From Sleepless Nights To Deep Rest

We talk about leaving our worries at the bedroom door but this is easier said than done. In this lesson, I teach a specific technique of planning ahead which will help you to let go of the worries about what is outside of your control and to make a plan to address the things that you can change. No magic here, no instant solution. It will take a little time of gentle practice for this technique to deliver fruit - but it will

Sometimes we need a little extra help - when the gremlins keep on coming after our heads have hit the pillow. In this lesson I teach a couple of very simple practices for moving from the head to the body. As you practice these and make them your own you will begin to build the muscle of creating the relaxation response when you most need it.

In this lesson, I teach three simple practices for when the mind is very busy and you are wide awake in the middle of the night. I want you to choose whichever of these practices most resonates with you and to commit to this. Become very familiar with it and make it your go-to response in times of ongoing wakefulness. It will work on you and you will begin to replace the wakefulness with your ability to connect with the parasympathetic nervous system - flooding the body with helpful calming hormones.

In this lesson, we look at some often unconscious daily habits that can make a big difference to how we sleep. Gentle reminders of how we can retrain our brain to prepare better for a night of relaxation and sleep by bringing some small changes to some of our daily habits. Please be aware that you can start with making one small change - no need to focus on a whole range of changes. Small, simple steps taken with oodles of self-compassion are all you need to retrain your brain. As your brain lays down these small new neural pathways it will remember again to relax and to to calm your body so that you can more easily settle into sleep. If you have any difficulty deciding what small action is for you or how to commit to a new habit come to the course classroom and we can share.

You might like to use this meditation every night for a period of time to help you to uncover Sleepy You. Our brains love a single focus and our brain loves repetition or ritual. So developing the habit of doing this practise ( until you are able to internalise your own version) will really support your brain to get the idea that this is Sleepy You time.
