Sleep

Sleep is essential for our health and wellbeing, but getting enough good quality sleep can be difficult especially if you have many worries on your mind. Without enough sleep, we may feel tired and lacking in energy, struggle to concentrate and become forgetful as well as feeling anxious and depressed. So it helps to invest some time in getting good sleep by preparing ourselves  before we get into bed, which the video about preparing for sleep may help with along with the videos which help our minds and bodies to relax enough to fall asleep.  Once you are actually in bed the adapted progressive muscle relaxation for sleep can help you to ease into sleep and help you return to it if you wake up at night. If you wake up because of bad dreams or nightmares, the strategies to orient to the present involving the 5 senses may be helpful.

If you have recurring nightmares or dreams, the Justin Havens nightmare protocol may help, which can be accessed  here in this short animated video (6 minutes)
