How Jessica transformed her relationship with sleep by challenging her sleep-related thoughts and changing her sleep-related behaviors (#22)

Insomnia Coach® Podcast

Jessica faced challenges with sleep after moving back to her hometown with her family. She tried different techniques and supplements to improve her sleep but found herself becoming increasingly obsessed with it when nothing worked. This was especially concerning as she was a stay-at-home mom with two small children. Jessica started to lose hope until she learned about the common thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate sleep disruption. This realization gave her hope to explore and challenge her beliefs about sleep while adopting behaviors that build sleep drive, strengthen the body clock, and reduce sleep-related anxiety. As Jessica challenged her sleep-related thoughts and implemented helpful behaviors, she no longer thought about sleep as often, and it no longer controlled her life. She was able to do things she had put off due to concerns about how they might affect her sleep, which gave her a whole new perspective on life. She wants to encourage others who are struggling with sleep to challenge their beliefs about sleep and implement helpful sleep-related behaviors to improve their sleep and overall quality of life.
