Welcome to Anxiety Slayer. I'm Shand Vanderbilt here with my partner Ananga Severe.

We come together each week on Skype to share with my partner, Ananga Severe.

We come together each week on Skype

to share Slayer sessions with you

and often answer listener questions

from our Facebook page and inbox.

We like to mix up a potent blend of coaching, EFT tapping, IERVeda, storytelling,

along with our many years of personal experience. Today we're going to discuss how to get a good night

sleep and what to do when you find yourself restless or wake up in the middle of

the night with stress and worry. Welcome, Ananga.

Hi, Shan, really nice to be here with you today.

Always a pleasure to come together with you and this week's topic is huge and I know it's something that we've both been

experiencing on and off since we've known each other, you know sleep interruption

as well as hearing from many of our listeners about their wanting so badly to be able to either get to sleep quickly or once they do fall asleep, remain asleep.

And we've got some tips, some do's and don'ts around a

good night's rest that we can share today and I would just love to have a

conversation with you about some of our own personal experiences as well as some ideas about how we can support our listeners

Sure one of the things that I've found in the last couple of years is I can get to sleep fairly easily. I know how to

care for myself before I go to bed. I know how to unwind. But it's the 3 a.m. wake up or the 4 a.m. wake up and if I'm lucky I can get back to sleep and if I'm not I can lay there for quite some time, which if you've got anything going on the next day of any importance, your mind can really take you to this place of, oh my goodness, I to go to sleep but I can't go to sleep and I've got so much going on tomorrow and then you start to pile on and you start to create more stress and anxiety around not being able to get to sleep.
