1 小时 6 分钟Paying attention to sleep and valuing sleep, but working on not stressing about it.
Let's control what we can control.
Be in bed by 11:00, be out of bed by seven.
There.
That's what you can control.
Those are tough choices to make, but that's where we've got to be.
And then understand that sometimes we'll go to bed and not fall asleep right away.
We're okay, we're normal.
That's fine.
Like just being in bed.
Resting can be wildly restorative for people.
Find time to rest.
And if rest turns to sleep, good for you.
So have you ever stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night convinced you haven't slept at all?
Or maybe you're not going to sleep at all?
Or am I the only one?
Or maybe you've dozed off the second your head hits the pillow only to wake up feeling like you really hadn't slept very well, if at all.
Apparently, not only do many of us not sleep well, but we also unwittingly tell ourselves stories about the sleep that we're not getting that aren't entirely true.
The way we perceive our sleep often doesn't match reality.
And for many people, that leads to anxiety and stress that even more colors the way that they experience their sleep.
