What is Normal Sleep?
It can be hard to know where to start when you're struggling with sleep. To help you identify areas of improvement, it can be helpful to understand what leads your body to want to be awake or asleep.
Sleep Mission Statement
Our first technique is to do a reflection on your sleep and write a sleep mission statement. This will help you to build awareness and motivation for the hard work of improving your sleep.
Your Brain & Your Bed #1
In this lesson Dr. Kara tackles the subconscious associations your brain makes between your bed and activities you do in it – Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
Stimulus Control
In today's lesson you'll practice strategies to help your brain break its unhelpful associations between your bed and restlessness, and form new links between bed and sleepiness.
Your Brain & Your Bed #2
Many people think that if it takes them a long time to fall asleep, they should get in bed as early as possible to given themselves more time. But this can backfire, and in this lesson you'll learn about the relationship between sleepiness and time in bed.
When You Can’t Fall Asleep
Today’s practical technique will help you think about how to break the habit of staying in bed when you aren’t falling asleep.
Your Body is a Clock
Our bodies are a system of clocks. Today you'll learn how keeping a consistent schedule, even with non-sleep activities, can help you sleep and function better overall.
Your Regular Waketime
In this lesson you'll learn techniques to implement a consistent wake time, whether or not tomorrow is a work day or a day you have to get up at a certain time.
Your Brain at Night
A common sleep challenge is that worrying often increases at night and many people find it hard to shut off their brains. Learn how your brain works at night, and why it's prone to worry.
Set the Stage for Bedtime
In the final technique lesson, you'll learn a few practical strategies that you can use to help create a bedtime routine to cut down on that nighttime worry.
