Description
Mindfulness can help us sleep better and reduce symptoms of insomnia. If you find yourself lying awake for hours or dreading going to bed because of how difficult it is to sleep, this is the course for you.
Mindfulness does not offer a quick fix or instant results. But, once you master the practices, it will give you a lifetime of good sleep, improving both the quality and quantity of your rest.
We'll do this by changing your relationship with sleep so that instead of seeing it as an adversary that activate's the body's stress response, we see it as a friend.
This course provides you with a week's worth of daily practices and you can try out the first one right now using the preview lessons.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who would like to sleep better
