Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. Today I want to talk about reducing

your anxiety and helping you enjoy better sleep. They kind of go hand in hand and

we can work on one or we can work on both so why not do that. Now on for today's show, how are we going to reduce our anxiety and get some better sleep?

One of the things that comes up around sleep is people get very anxious when they don't get their quote usual amount of sleep and not only does it feel frustrating when you are

tossing and turning at night or laying there staring into the dark, but the next day you carry it with you still and you

consider that, oh my goodness I didn't get enough sleep. And of course that's just another way of us feeding our anxiety.

So let's take a closer to look at it and see what is actually going on.

And how bad is it if you don't get a full night's sleep.

One of the things that people worry about is they are concerned that their lack of sleep will cause them to go crazy because I understand

that because it's kind of how it feels, feels so uncomfortable to be laying there and you're feeding the anxiety because you're

concerned about not getting enough sleep checking the clock counting back how many hours you've been awake or how many hours you have

left to sleep and it really feeds the lizard brain of danger of trying to keep you safe and it's thinking and you

begin to feel all of these stress hormones raging at night and you have a sense that you're really losing it.

You're going to go crazy. But I assure you that you're not going to go crazy.

Lack of sleep will not cause you to go crazy. Lack of sleep will not cause you to go crazy. The worry and the fear, the fear

that we feel around our sleep produces those stress hormones and it stimulates our alertness because

basically that primal brain that amidyla is about keeping you safe.
