A common barrier to sleep is the worry of not being able to fall asleep. DBT encourages us to aim for restfulness when we’re having difficulty sleeping. One mindfulness activity I share with clients involves having them close their eyes and simply watch the movie in front of them, sort of like when you were a kid and tried to pick out shapes from clouds…..or maybe you were doing that yesterday, which is cool. Give it a shot tonight when you go to bed and see how it works for you.
Sleep keeping you up?
