You're gonna love this episode's guest! Dr. Dyan Haspel-Johnson chats with me about the art and science of self-hypnosis for better sleep. As someone who struggled with crippling insomnia and health problems for years, Dr. Dyan speaks from her own experience as well as her professional experience working with clients in her own practice. We talk about some of the myths and misconceptions of hypnosis, how we actually go into a state of hypnosis a few times a day without realizing it, and how to practice self-hypnosis as a tool to calm racing thoughts and achieve restful sleep.

The other day I was asked, "If I read your book, will it fix my sleep?" so this episode is about the frustrating questions I’m asked as a sleep coach, why it’s impossible to fix people’s sleep during a thirty-second conversation, and the advice I would give these people if they actually stayed in the conversation long enough to hear my answers.

My book, The Calm & Cozy Book of Sleep, is out soon! Grab your copy here:

A reviewer made a comment about my book (after reading an advance digital copy) that I believe was meant to be critical and a little sarcastic. I’m okay with criticism because I understand that not everyone is gonna like me. I’m also okay with sarcasm because everything I say is dripping with it. ⁣The comment made me laugh at the time, but days later, I can’t let it go. There’s a part of me that agrees with what she said and I have to talk it out.⁣

This episode is a direct response to that negative review, and it might surprise you to hear that I agree with what was said. Listen to the full episode to hear why. And then go find my book, The Calm & Cozy Book of Sleep, on Amazon!

The term chronotype is used to characterize your natural sleep-wake cycle and sleep patterns. It determines whether you’re a night owl or an early bird or something else. Your chronotype is based on your biology and genetic makeup, and it is said that because we’re born with it, it cannot be changed. I want to challenge the idea that you are stuck with the chronotype you have been born with if you feel it is no longer serving you. This episode goes deeper into what the four chronotypes are, and how I went from a functioning night owl to an early bird, and why I'm happier for it.

This episode is about the bedtime stressors that plague us at night, and how to deal with them. Because I have struggled with many types of bedtime anxiety and racing thoughts, I have put together some "bedtime mantras" for you to repeat to yourself when you're lying in bed worrying about things you can and can't control.

Here is that list, but listen to the episode to hear the story of the time I thought there was a murderer in the basement.

1: Tomorrow is taken care of, tonight I can rest.

2: They are safe and happy.

3: Thank you for all that I have. I am so blessed.

4: May I be happy. May I be well. May I be safe. May I be peaceful and at ease.

6: I am safe and loved. I'm fine.

It's my first episode in four months, and I'm back with a few controversial answers to your well-meaning questions. I'll tell you what I think about shift workers, how I really feel about the "best" essential oil companies, and how I find moments of calm and self-care throughout my busy day. I also have a new cute musical intro.

This episode is the first of its kind on The CALM+COZY Podcast - An in-person interview recorded while on vacation in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Who can go from being a heavy sleeper her whole life to hearing her child tiptoe across her bedroom floor? A mom of two young girls, of course! My cousin, Laura, has an in-person chat with me about how her sleep has changed since pregnancy, and how being a mom of a two year old and a five year old changes everything, even a 30+ year sleep routine. Even if you don't have kids, I think you'll still enjoy this conversation with one of my favorite relatives. Laura and I talk about where our love for naps comes from, our favorite sleep stories from when we were kids, and other sleep-related topics.
