Like, what are we talking about? What are some of the common cognitive, I don't know, processes or things people are doing cognitively that can be problematic to their healthy sleep?

Yeah, well, there's quite a few.

Maybe I can kind of zoom in on four.

First of all, there's worry and rumination or general kind of negatively toned thought.

And so that's sort of daytime worries about being tired.

and not coping or it's nighttime worries about not falling asleep and what tomorrow's gonna look like.

The problem with this kind of negative thinking is that it causes arousal and the kind of fight flight response and that's the opposite of what we need in order to fall asleep.

So now the question is, what do we do about it? And I'm hoping that you'll share some insider knowledge, at least a few different techniques that we can use to address some of these worries and anxieties.
