'The Ultimate Guide to Mindfulness for Sleep'
The mindfulness organisation 'Mindful' have produced an extremely comprehensive article about how mindfulness can help with insomnia and sleep. You can read it here.
​
The Mindful approach to using mindfulness meditation for sleep and anxiety, and how to improve the quality of sleep, fits very much with our approach in the 'Sleep Improvement' course.
​
Here is an excerpt from the article:
​
"Sleep is a critical component of overall well-being. It doesn’t just heal your body; it heals your mind. Mindfulness for sleep can help you get a good night’s rest which can change how you interact with the world by elevating your mood and improving your concentration. In our fast-paced world, increased feelings of stress and anxiety can prevent people from tapping into the healing power of sleep.
​
With regular sleep deprivation, your attention span, mood, and memory suffer, according to Matthew Walker, PhD, (professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science.)
Over time, he suggests, sleeplessness could also lead to unwanted weight gain and mood problems.
In up to 15% of adults, insomnia causes daytime distress or impairment, with the risk for insomnia being greater in women and older adults."

​
I'm delighted to be running this course to help people improve their sleep, as I've found mindfulness meditations extremely helpful over the years with my own sleep.
I usually go to sleep by doing some sort of meditation, either a relaxing Body Scan or a quick gratitude practice, to help with letting go of busy thoughts or emotions. And if I wake in the night or wake up earlier than I need, I try and quickly do a meditation before my mind gets whirring!
​
Over the years I've developed a big toolbox of different strategies to help with sleep, and I look forward to sharing these and empowering others to improve their sleep and overall quality of life.
​
Getting enough sleep, and good quality sleep, is so important. When I've slept well, I feel more resilient and happier. Good sleep makes a massive difference to my day.​
