Do you find yourself putting undue pressure on yourself to sleep perfectly?

If so, you’re not alone. As an insomnia specialist, I see time and time again how people struggling to sleep well often add too much pressure to the process.

Trying too hard can turn sleep into a battle — a battle you can’t win, because the more you fight it, the more alert your body becomes.

Take note of why sleeping well matters to you. We all want to sleep well but dig deeper to find out why it matters to you.

Do you worry about your work performance?

Or maybe your health?

As a result of this pressure, what have you changed with your lifestyle to try and sleep well?

Think back to when you used to sleep well. What you’ll notice is that you probably did very little to sleep but now you’re trying many things, thinking about everything you can do to improve your sleep, and likely feeling hypervigilant about it.

All this effort adds pressure. The best advice is to go back to basics and focus on creating a higher sleep drive while changing how your body and mind respond to poor sleep. In my free webinar, I will share my top tips on how to achieve this.
