I listen to a mindfulness session each day – they are widely available on line. For me, mindfulness practice is a bit like getting mentally fit. If one neglects to do physical exercise one gets fat. Same goes for mental exercise. Mindfulness practice helped me a lot with being mentally fit.

Using a blend of mindfulness and new ACT therapy techniques, Dr Guy shares his unique five-week plan to cure your sleep problem whether it's a few restless nights or a lifetime of insomnia. Most people who have trouble sleeping invest a huge amount of time, effort and money into fixing the problem, but Dr Guy has discovered the secret lies not in what you do, but what you learn not to do. In fact, as you will have discovered, the more frustrated you become only serves to push sleep further away. Tried to quit it several times and every time I did, I would give up in the wee hours of the morning and take one. I was certain I could not fall asleep without this drug. urn:lcp:sleepbookhowtosl0000mead:epub:77d90e73-5af6-4109-aa97-42f00a42cf2c Foldoutcount 0 Identifier sleepbookhowtosl0000mead Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s23352hm072 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781409157618 Unlike other reviewers who found the repetition annoying I found it very useful. Whilst the book can be distilled to a few key points, they really do need to explored in depth and fully understood by the reader to be properly implemented. This felt like a useful and kind, gentle approach and idea for me. So I investigated and have very much bought into mindfulness as a concept.First off, much of what you read in the papers and see on TV about sleep is nonsense. The admonitions to get 8 hours - rubbish and not applicable to lots of people. The advice to get up if you have not slept for 15 minutes - also nonsense, (unless you are exceptionally stressed).

This book (and the app which has developed from it) has helped me to heal from a very frightening and extended episode of insomnia. You may have heard about mindfulness and about meditation. You may have even tried meditation already and it didn’t work. Why? It is very important to understand that meditation will not get you to sleep. Just because you meditated before sleep, doesn’t mean you will sleep fine tonight. Meditation has a calming effect, but if you have developed negative associations with your bedroom, with bedtime, then all effects of the meditations will nullify the moment you step into your bedroom. Meditation is a learning session, in which you learn to observe what’s going on in your head and in your body. You learn to be objective and passive observer of your internal world and you then apply this skill at nighttime to notice what’s going on and not struggle with it. By doing nothing and not seeking solutions, you give yourself the best chance to sleep soundly tonight. This book teaches you to snooze like a natural good sleeper. One tip is mindfulness - notice the worries that won't be able to sleep. learn to see them as just thoughts, and watch them drift away again. ( HEALTH & FITNESS) I’m not an insomniac, I just struggle falling asleep and waking up, and this book is really only aimed at people who have full on insomnia and no one else. Dr Guy’s pioneering methods at The Sleep School clinic have been an unprecedented success. By popular demand, his highly effective and 100% natural insomnia remedy is now here in this book. THE SLEEP BOOK is the sum of a doctorate degree in sleep and well over 12,000 hours spent working with more than 2,000 insomniacs in one-to-one clinics, workshops and retreat environments.Sit and choose to be still with your eyes closed, or open, on a park bench and just be with what’s there,” he suggests. Notice the sounds, the wind on your face, the wood underneath you, and your breath. Building up that noticing skill is really valuable and will help you at night when those negative emotions appear. 9. Focus on what’s important to you

Being worried that they won’t sleep can make insomniacs go to bed earlier in the hope they will sleep sooner, or stay up later because turning in simply fills them with dread. This chopping and changing can create something called “social jetlag,” says Guy. Just keeping regular bedtimes and wake times is simple but really important. 8. Be mindful I recommend this book.
