Many times when people say they haven’t slept well in six months, and I can tell they have anxiety around that fact, I ask them, “Do you really need more sleep than you’re getting? Do you actually know that you need to sleep more than you are? Or are you sitting there in bed at night telling yourself how tired you are going to be the next day?” It is amazing what happens when we let go of the thought patterns that say, “I should get more sleep,” when we realize that it’s just a thought.
