Sleep is one of those topics that can cause a lot of anxiety if you don’t get enough of it.
So many experts (so, so many) make us terrified if we’re getting less than 8 hours per night. The consequences of what it will do to our mental faculties, will it make us fatter, dumber or even lead to some chronic illness.
It can feel terrifying and isolating.
But I have a different theory. I believe that sleep issues can be very effective at signalling that your nervous system needs a break.
I see this all the time. Women telling me they have no idea why they are not sleeping, why they wake up at 3am. But in the same breath also telling me the mental conversations they are going through, the worrying about their children, relationship stresses, ageing parents, work pressure and money fears whilst holding on to too much responsibility.
Sometimes hormones are part of it too of course - and that is definitely worth checking, but often the nervous system has been switched ‘on” for so long that switching ‘off’ no longer comes naturally.
In the stressful times we live in, what we really need is more emotional rest and internal safety to allow the hyper vigilance to subside
To support our wired minds instead of having to carry it all alone.
And that is the work I’ve dedicated my life to. Help women to prioritise themselves in a world that wants you to be there for everyone else. Self-worth is learning how to find internal safety by making choices that work for you.
And sleep issues are part of this mission. Your lack of sleep is telling you something - there is nothing wrong with you, you’re just emotionally depended and mentally overstimulated.
My sleep guide and hypnotherapy recording came about because I wanted to help anyone struggling with sleep, wherever the location. It is an extension of my therapy work. To help calm the mind and nervous system underneath it all.
