Sleep is important.
Getting a good night’s rest isn’t just great for your mood, it’s a huge part of a maintaining a truly healthy lifestyle. I talked about creating nighttime rituals that support healthy sleep habits here.
But too many of us aren’t getting enough sleep, which can lead to depression, weight gain, and chronic illness. And there’s absolutely nothing good that can come out of bad sleep habits.
If you live by the motto, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” prepare to be dead a lot sooner. Sorry, but that’s real talk. Your body needs to rest for proper detox, to physically recharge for a new day, and to keep your mind sharp.
And I know that a lot of you are dealing with your lack of sleep with drugs.
You take a prescription or over-the-counter medication to fall asleep at night, and you “wake up” by overloading your system with ungodly amounts of caffeine in the morning. Yes, caffeine is a drug.
There’s also the issue of WHY you’re not sleeping. Is it stress? Is it poor eating habits? Is it worry over future events or too-long to-do lists? Medications handle medical issues, but it’s a good possibility that your sleepless nights are just a symptom of something totally preventable.
If you find yourself lying on your pillow at night, unable to quiet your monkey mind, maybe meditation is the answer…
My newest meditation for sleep uses a technique called visualization to prepare you for an amazing night of deep, restorative sleep. You can also use this at any time of of the day to relax, unwind, and create a peaceful space for yourself…
Enjoy… and sweet dreams!
