    Episode 11: Fake It Till You Make It For Better Sleep

    Sleep onset, or difficulty initiating sleep, is one of the most common sleep-related problems faced by people today. At times when we go to bed, our minds may still be racing with thoughts or worries that make it hard to relax and drift off to sleep. This makes it hard to feel well-rested and energized during the day. One of the effective strategies for helping your body adjust to a healthy sleep routine is to “fake it till you make it.” Applying the “fake it till you make it” idea to the sleep mechanism means that if you act like you are already sleepy, your body will eventually follow suit and naturally fall asleep. Our neurobiology is linked to certain facial expressions, actions, and thoughts. And whether it is just pretense or real makes no difference. Join the conversation with your host Sabine Christelli as she explains how to apply the “fake it till you make it” idea to the mechanism of sleep. Additionally, she shares the tricks you can apply to take off the pressure of the need to fall asleep and gives tips to help you with sleep onset & sleep maintenance. Tune in!
