Only rest is required! I am all excited to be flying to Guatemala on a missions trip! Not sure I am enough for the plans, and I will have fun …. Thanks Meredith

Very helpful for me as I am a middle of the night awakener.

That was so helpful thank you. It makes so much sense yet I hadn't heard those specific tips before

The best sleep info here. We need to do the homework 💪🏽💪🏽

Sort of goes with the Buddhist ideas of accepting what is and not resisting it. Thank you for this wisdom

Good staff. TY

Holistic Psychotherapist here with 50+ years of experience. This was an excellent talk, and I’m sure many people will benefit from listening to it. I would like to add one thing: If you drink a lot of liquid, even a couple of hours before you go to sleep, you might have to wake up to use the bathroom. Just don’t assume it’s a problem. As you heard in the video, you can distract your tendency to ruminate by listening to an audiobook—not a thriller—or a soothing meditation from the Insight Timer. I don’t think waking up in the middle of the night is the problem, it’s how quickly you fall back to sleep. If you wake up for a bio break and go right back to sleep, you don’t have any issue. If you wake up and start ruminating, it’s best to do some of the things she suggests to take your mind off whatever it is you’re obsessing about. It will be there in the morning and you can deal with it then. Things have a way of looking particularly bleak, overwhelming, and scary in the middle of the night.
