0:00.0	Hi friends, it's Cheryl and welcome to sleep tight relax.
0:13.7	You're safe here in your cozy spot tonight.
0:18.2	Take a moment to snuggle in. Maybe pull your blanket up just right, and let your
0:24.6	shoulders drop gently away from your ears. So we've been on quite a journey with our
0:32.8	relax rangers, haven't we? We learned square breathing with breath bear, body scanning with mindful mouse,
0:43.3	visualization with dream deer, and progressive muscle relaxation with calm cat.
0:51.2	Four really useful tools for helping ourselves feel calm and comfortable.
0:59.0	But learning these tools is just the first step.
1:04.1	The real question is, how do we actually use them when we're facing something that makes us nervous or worried or scared.

1:58.6	And how do you use them when you're really, truly nervous about something real?
2:06.3	Let's find out what happens when Bear faces his first day worries. Remember back in our first
