The Power of Sleep Primers
In this episode of The Habit Coach Podcast, Ashdin Doctor discusses the challenge of falling asleep and the impact of a restless mind on sleep quality. He emphasizes that many struggle with racing thoughts and restlessness when trying to sleep, which can lead to negative thoughts and sleeplessness. To combat this, he suggests creating a "sleep primer," a specific calming mental image or dream, like picturing oneself as a cozy bear preparing to hibernate. This sleep primer helps quiet the restless mind and improve the quality of sleep.
