Sleep Well: The Mindful Way to Wake Up to a Healthier, Happier You

Harness the power of a good night's sleep.

Do you worry about the fact that you are awake when you want to be asleep, and how tired you will feel during the day? You are not alone – sleep problems are often triggered by stress, illness and getting older. However, Sleep Well can help. Anna Black explains how mindfulness can help change your relationship to sleep as well as reduce stress. There are 25 practices and activities that introduce mindfulness and how to use it effectively. These include meditations for night and daytime, as well as everyday activities that shine a light on our habitual patterns and behaviours, helping you create better habits to support the body’s self-regulating sleep system. Learn how to keep a sleep diary, too, which allows you to make notes about what you discover when you pay attention to what helps and hinders you in sleeping.
