Mindfulness & Sleep

For many of us just the thought of trying to sleep can cause anxiety and the seemingly inevitable ‘bad night’ that follows.

Recent scientific studies have shown that this scenario can be changed with mindfulness. See below(#1).

Mindfulness can set the stage for sleep by allowing us to be more aware of our thoughts and be able to help us let go of these anxieties instead of being stuck on them.

Daily practice of this technique helps us understand and better recognise the negative poor-sleep inducing thoughts we generate and let them pass.

Mindfulness meditation and recent technological aids (See SS+ technology) for those who need help, prepare our brain for drifting off to sleep. With repeated use you can improve the quality of your sleep and work towards achieving ‘excellent sleep’.

Scientific studies have shown that mindfulness may be at least as effective as other highly recommended insomnia treatments.
