Today's Episode:
Today's Story Sweet Dreams Roo. Mindfulness exercise is Simple Deep Breathing. The Closing Thoughts are How to get a restful sleep.

Website mentioned: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/ways-to-fall-asleep

• LIFESTYLE:
  • Get on a Schedule, making sure to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day.
  • Avoid Naps during the day. Now, I personally find a 20 minute nap at lunch helps me survive the rest of the afternoon but I also don’t have trouble sleeping at night. If you find that you cannot fall asleep at night, make sure you’re not napping during the day so you’re completely tired when you should be. 
  • Healthy Eating - yep, food’s always a contributor! If you’re planning on having a high-carb dinner, like pizza, stop eating at least 4 hours before bed so you have enough time to digest it. If your dinner is low-carb, this doesn’t apply as much. 
  • Exercise! Yeah… this one probably didn’t surprise you either. Just make sure not to do this one too close to bedtime.
• GET COMFY:
  • Make sure you’re comfortable physically - do you have a good mattress? A high quality pillow? Nice pajamas? Did you go potty? Are your teeth and hair brushed? Small things can add up to help you feel relaxed and comfy!
  • Lower the Room Temperature, ideally between 60–75°Fahrenheit (15–23°Celsius)
  • Play around with your sleep position - if you’re having trouble falling asleep on your back, try your side. Your left side is specifically recommended for Sleep Apnea, Heartburn etc.
  •  Listen to relaxing music, read a traditional paper book, or practice meditation or mindfulness - more on this in just a moment.
  • You may find Journaling helpful to go through your thoughts - there are a few CBT guidelines you can follow if you’re interested in this route.
  • Aromatherapy, specifically lavender, can help you relax and encourage sleep. Just make sure. If you’re a pet owner, to research the essential oils you wish to use as some can be harmful to animals (Don’t worry, diluted Lavender oil is safe as long as they don’t eat it!) 
  • You can also try supplements like Melatonin or Magnesium to assist with encouraging sleep. I will not elaborate with doses as I am not a medical professional but this is an easy thing to Google if you’re interested.
• Avoid The Following: 
  • Vigorous activity like working out at least one hour before bed
  • Caffeine 
  • Electronics: Turn off all Electronics, at least 30 minutes before bed. That means no cell phone! 
  • And stop looking at your clock, while you’re at it.
  • Lots of Carbs before bed; you might feel stuffed and sluggish but studies have shown your sleep won’t be restful.

Today's Minisode is on Cognitive Restructuring.

QUESTIONNAIRE MENTIONED:

(1) First, select a troubling thought that you are having difficulty letting go. This could be a worry or an anxiety that has been following you like a dark cloud. I often think I am not good enough to reach a goal, or talented enough to be successful, or smart enough to finish a task. What is bothering you the most right now?

(2) I am going to ask a series of questions that I want you to consider. We are going to figure out if the thought you have is actually True. 

• What is the evidence or proof that this thought or fear is true?
• Is there any evidence that disproves my thought?
• What is the evidence that this thought may not be true?
• Are there any facts I’m ignoring or have overlooked?
• Am I discounting any small things that contradict my thought that I may consider unimportant?
• Am I using any words that are extreme or exaggerated? Words like “Should, Must, Always, Never”
• Am I reading someone else’s mind and treating it as fact? 

(3) Now we’re going to examine any other possibilities or possible explanations this thought might have. 

• Is there any other way to view this idea or thought?
• If my friend was having this thought, what would I tell them?
• If my friend knew I was having this thought, what might they say to me?
• When I’m not feeling this way, do I look at this situation any differently?
• If I were to look back on this in five years, might I look at it any differently?
• Am I blaming myself for something I don’t have control over?
• Have I had any experiences that show that this thought isn’t always true?
• Am I ignoring any strengths that I have?
•  Are there any positives that exist in this situation that I haven’t considered?

(4) Now we’re going to think about what you can do to help deal with this thought or situation. 

• What have I learned from previous experiences that can help me now?
• When I’ve felt this way in the past, what did I think about that helped me feel better?
• What’s the worst that could realistically happen?
• What’s the most likely thing that could happen?
• If the worst did happen, what could I do to help myself cope?
