“Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.”
Thomas Dekker
Insomnia & Sleep
Most of us experience periods of sleeplessness or insomnia at some time in our life. Contributing factors can include stress, worry, anxiety, often related to some of the obvious life events that we may have to encounter. Life’s not always plain sailing!
However when the sleeplessness becomes more habitual and seriously felt then the impact and consequences for our life, happiness, health and wellbeing can be hugely detrimental.
Our structured MindSleep program takes a wider holistic approach and looks at likely causes and triggers - and focuses on relearning good sleep and wellbeing disciplines and patterns.
Common contributing factors for sleeplessness or insomnia:
Lifestyle & Environment
Is this arranged, set-up for and conducive to regular sleep patterns, habits and possibilities?
Helpful and Unhelpful Psychological Associations and Cues
Often poorly understood but important for being in the right frame of mind.
Core Sleep Requirements
There are many myths around this which can disrupt good sleep habits and expectations.
Diet, Drinking and Meals Scheduling
What and when we eat and drink can have a significant impact on optimal sleep patterns.
Sleep Habits and Behaviours
Sometimes we have to “re-learn” the good ones – and get rid of some bad ones.
Anxiety and Stres
No surprises here. But what’s causing it and what can be done to reduce or manage?
Relaxation of Body and Mind
Do you know how to do this? We can learn and practice. It’s pleasurable too!
Exercise
In our (often) sedentary lives, if this was a magic potion, it would be on sale!
Our MindSleep program uses a mixture of coaching, consulting, guided relaxation and visualisation to develop new understandings, approaches and habits.
Sleeping better can be a life-changer - but an accompanying benefit is simply improved wellbeing and a calmer voyage!
