It’s happened to us before (or maybe all the time) . . . you’re laying in bed and you can’t fall asleep.
Perhaps this hack can help? I’m definitely giving a shot next Sunday night. Brain never wants to turn off on Sunday night (Sunday Scaries).
Here’s what to do . . . as you’re laying in bed, think back to a HAPPY memory. If you really put yourself there and recreate the experience, you’ll fall asleep. The technique is called “savoring.”
Here’s some tips to maximize your “savoring” experience:
- Pick your happy memory beforehand
- Practice your happy memory during the day, and be patient because it might be hard at first
- If you tend to lie in bed worrying about stuff, schedule 15 minutes of worrying time earlier in the day (it’ll make you less inclined to worry at night)
Give that a whirl and let me know if that helps!
