Hi Robert,

I wanted to start the last Snoozeletter of March off with some recent good news stories featuring sleep.

Strength Training for Sleep Quality in Older Adults

Earlier this month, research published in the journal Family Medicine and Community Health revealed that engaging in strength training exercises at least twice a week significantly improves sleep quality for individuals aged 60 and above. Participants who incorporated resistance exercises, such as weight lifting or push-ups, experienced better sleep compared to those who performed aerobic activities like running or cycling. This highlights the importance of strength training not only for physical health but also for enhancing sleep among older adults.

🌍 Cultivating Abundance Through Gratitude

Dr. Mark Rowe emphasizes the significance of gratitude in fostering mental and physical well-being. He introduces the concept of 'Gratitude Deficiency Syndrome' and offers practical tips to cultivate gratitude, such as maintaining a gratitude journal, expressing appreciation to others, and engaging in mindfulness practices. Embracing gratitude can lead to a more abundant and fulfilling life.

Gratitude journals are another piece of the puzzle in CBT-I.

When Im coaching someone with insomnia through to the other side, an end of the day "worry journal" or "gratitude journal" are both encouraged practices for mindset shifts that can help with sleep.
