I have a confession: Every morning I wake up, turn off my alarm, and want to go back to sleep. I just don’t like getting out of bed. I never have. Not everybody springs out of bed every morning and it doesn't necessarily mean you're sleep-deprived. It might just mean that you’re not naturally a morning person. Before you start to worry that you’re doing something wrong, try a few things first. You might just need some extra time to wake up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We tend to think of sleep as something that happens to us, but what if we started to think of sleep as a part of us? I believe that you can prepare for a night of sleep by asking for what you need instead of closing your eyes and just hoping for the best.  This episode is my short and sweet rant about a recent idea. I hope it makes sense, and I hope it helps bring you closer to seeing sleep as an ally.

Asking Your Sleep For What You Need

It's one year later, and what a year it's been! In this episode, I answer the question, "How are you, really?" You'll find out where I've been, why I took so much time off, and how I approached sleep in a new way to get through it all. I also let you in on my current sleep projects and how you can work with me in my new insomnia membership at http://www.freedomfrominsomnia.com

Life & How I Slept Through It

I used to claim that I couldn’t take short naps, that I had to sleep for at least 40 minutes to feel good, and that’s no longer true. I can nap successfully for a few minutes. I can do the “power nap.” I get it now and I LOVE it. Nothing has changed in my body, I just changed my expectations. BUT I don’t want to discount those who legitimately can’t nap for whatever reason. This episode is for those who would like to practice the art of the power nap and are open to some fun and healthy experimentation.

Power Naps

I thought I would do something a little different for this episode. I love telling stories and every once in a while, I’ll be in the mood to tell a story in an Instagram caption. I’ll post a pretty picture of a bed or a plant and then use all the space I’m allowed and hope that my followers don’t get bored and stop reading before the last line. 
The stories are about me, and sometimes they’re remotely related to sleep, but mostly they’re stories I’ve remembered or felt compelled to share because they had an impact on me in some way. Or I just thought they were fun, and I love to connect with other people through these stories. 
Honestly, I always thought if I were to write a book it would be fiction, and it so happens my first book is about sleep.  So, this episode is the greatest hits of the stories I’ve shared in my Instagram captions, and I’ve named each story as though they were FRIENDS episodes:
THE ONE WHERE MOM DOESN’T SEE A BALD EAGLE THE ONE WHERE I FINALLY LET MY LEGS SEE THE SUN THE ONE WHERE I HATE EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE SAYING THE ONE WHERE I WAS THE TIRED ONE THE ONE WHERE MICHAEL STIPE SMILED AT ME THE ONE WHERE I WAS TERRIBLE AT SIMPLE MATH THE ONE WHERE I THOUGHT I HAD NO TALENT THE ONE WHERE I DECIDE IT’S OKAY TO BRAG ABOUT MY BOOK THE ONE WHERE I WAS ALL WEIRD ABOUT THE TREE THE ONE WHERE I GUSH ABOUT MY MORNING WALKS

Instagram Storytelling Greatest Hits

I want to take a step back from sleep topics this week and talk about what’s going on in my own life. How I’m handling grief and loss, and the valuable lessons I’ve learned about support - more specifically, how to show support for people you care about without writing and rewriting awkward text messages or baking pies for days that won’t be eaten. When you don't know what to say, or if your words will mean anything, or how you can help, know that it IS possible to offer support without having any of those answers. 
I swear a little. You have been warned. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
