One thing most of my clients say when they come to me looking for sleep coaching is that they stay up too late as a βrevenge bedtime procrastinationβ in order to have some time to themselves. Alternatively, some put themselves to BED TOO EARLY only to wake up in the middle of the night. This cycle leaves them feeling exhausted, stressed, and unable to
function at their best.
Hereβs why those intuitive solutions won't work: they don't take into account the importance of creating a balanced routine that fits your unique lifestyle and biological needs while also adhering to the 2 process model of sleep. (sleep pressure + circadian drive)
Most people think that managing sleep is simply about going to bed early or enforcing strict routines. While these methods might seem logical, they
often lead to frustration and sleep disturbances because they donβt address the underlying need to make sure the sleep opportunity and the ability to sleep are aligned and also are a match to the individuals circadian rhythm.
One uncommon solution that has proven effective for many of my clients is to block out dedicated "me time" well before bedtime. This practice helps to prevent the urge for revenge bedtime procrastination and promotes a more restful
nightβs sleep. Even with a demanding schedule, there are creative ways to carve out this essential time for yourself.
One such way is through the Classic Yogi Cleanse, starting on May 27th. This program offers 28 days of live and recorded daily yoga and meditation classes designed to help you find balance,
reduce stress, and enhance your overall wellness. Incorporating these practices into your daily routine can be a game-changer for your sleep and vitality.
