Snapshot of the course: Sleep module

First you will revise the reasons why sleep is so important, so it is easier for you to make this a priority and develop a positive association with the idea of having a thorough and effective wind down routine.

You could begin to download the sleep workbook, and finish this at your own pace, and as an overview for the whole topic.

There are more videos on scientifically based ideas for improving sleep quality and techniques to sleep at a faster rate. For example, four types of meditation are provided.

Included in the sleep section is a brief introduction to stimulus control. Use this worksheet to become aware of ways to remove accidental negative associations created around sleep rituals, and how to replace these to make falling asleep easier. Stimulus control is further elaborated more in depth in section four on low mood and positivity.

Note: I am potentially revising this in the future to replace with improved audio relaxations. Let me know what works for you, and ask any questions. Again, this course is not for mental illness but general mental wellbeing, based on core foundational blocks to positivity. Thanks!
