Your sleep program helped me almost immediately! I was desperate and didn’t know what to expect, but it literally saved me, and I can function again. Your extensive knowledge and experience is so evident, but you present it all in such a relaxing and fun way that instills hope and empowerment. I look forward to your lessons every week! Now it’s about so much more than sleep. Thank you.

I tried progressive muscle relaxation. It definitely helped me relax but I stayed awake. So then I got ready to get up like one of your other methods, but was so relaxed I didn’t want to move to get up and next thing I knew it was morning!!! I’d say that’s a win.

These 3 skills were incredibly helpful when trying to figure out how to stop the racing thoughts that keep me awake at night. Writing stuff down made it so much easier for me to rest than trying to push the thoughts and feelings away.

I jotted down some of the racing thoughts in my head and then went on with my bedtime routine. Read my book until I was getting tired. I woke up around 3 am with thoughts again, but quickly put them in a note in my phone and was able to quickly fall back asleep rather than ruminating on them.

Wow!!! This group is helping SO much already - thank you for doing this! I like the idea of learned behavior. I feel like I’ve done all the hard work- addiction counseling, no more night terrors or nightmares, finally started going to bed without all the lights on and such but maybe I didn’t ever “learn” to sleep. That and 4 years of 24 hour shifts. So I did little things like took my shoes off, got in pj’s, took earrings out, got all the way under the covers (great start to a nighttime routine), and I slept for just over 8 hours two nights in a row! Woah! That’s like, a twice a year experience!
