When you are stressed what is one of the first things affected? It’s your sleep. Sleep allows your subconscious mind to work through any issues that have been bothering – it is a natural filter and can help you to come up with solutions. Have you ever gone to bed worried about something and the next morning, it doesn’t seem quite so bad – that’s your subconscious mind unravelling the problem to come up with a solution or at least give you perspective on it. When your body is stressed mentally and physically, there is so much for the subconscious mind to do that you end up more exhausted. Sleep is supposed to refresh you and give you a good, energetic start to the day. So what happens if you wake and want more sleep and then you feel resentful of the job you have to go to, the work that is making you get up. Or even for parents of a new baby – resentful of the change in your routine. When extreme tiredness hits, you must take note – the subconscious mind is begging you to address the stress.
Did you know that we sleep in 3 hour cycles? All you need is a minimum of 3 hours of sleep to recharge.
From my clinical experience, the first thing that clients notice when they see me for stress management, is how their sleep improves in the first week of listening to my CD. And it’s a good quality sleep. It’s not the quantity but the quality that counts. When you wake up refreshed in the morning, you feel you can take on the world, this clear head gives you perspective and allows the goal setting parts of the brain to become creative. Okay, so your job is not what you expected – instead of spirally into unhappiness (and remember this affects all those around you at home and at work) – how can you improve your situation? If it is not your heart’s desire are you willing to stick with it while you build on what you really want?
We need sleep to function at the highest level so we give the best of ourselves whether it is at home or work. Good quality sleep is a side effect of a hypnotic CD – I am more effective than a sleeping tablet because you wake up with energy and a vibrancy that is lacking when you are stressed.
