The Problem:
Not being able to go to sleep when you really want to; lying awake for hours on end then waking up exhausted; fitful broken sleep.
The Cause:
Sometimes a physiological imbalance is present, but mostly the cause lies in the mind which doesn’t know how to turn itself off.
The Cure:
If we can slow the mind down or capture its attention with something that is steady and calming, sleep will come. If underlying disturbances can be resolved, deeper sleep will be there. |
