142 — How to Sleep When Your Mind Won't Shut Off

Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

Do you struggle to fall asleep? Do you wake up at times with a lot on your mind? Sometimes, our brains just feel like they will not shut off and let us rest.

In this episode, I share science-backed sleep strategies rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Whether you have a hard time sleeping quite often or you have some occasional worries that keep you up at night, there are some steps you can take to get better sleep. Some of the things I share are:

• The lifestyle changes that will help you get better quality sleep
• How to establish a bedtime routine that helps your brain unwind
• The strategies that will improve the quality of sleep you should get
• What to do when you just cannot sleep
• What to avoid doing that keeps you awake longer
