In this episode, you'll learn effective tips for improving sleep so you can wake up feeling more refreshed and energized. I cover the benefits of setting a schedule, what to do if you can't fall asleep, and much more. Many people are finding it difficult to get restful sleep amidst stress from rising COVD-19 cases, political divisions, and a mental health crisis. These tips are not intended to be a replacement for medical care. If you continue to have trouble with sleep, please seek out support from your doctor and or a therapist who is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. I did not provide a guided meditation in this episode, however, you will find a stand-alone sleep meditation in episode #49.
