I had an important question submitted: "The idea of letting go the need for sleep and accepting whatever the night brings is refreshing and helpful to calm anxiety. In this world of acceptance of whatever the night brings, however, how do you measure progress--I imagine it is not by the time slept or time slept vs time in bed? So, how to get a sense if this letting go is working?" Thanks for asking this! This is exactly right, measuring our progress through time slept or time spent in bed is the opposite metric we are looking for. This comes in time as we continue to foster more peace, ease, presence. Good Sleep is the product of a regulated nervous system. So a good way to measure this is checking in with how you feel. "Do i feel more peaceful or at ease?" This is a great question to stay close to. Because the changes are incremental it can sometimes be hard to tell but over time you'll be able to notice. The more peaceful you feel, will ultimately turn into better quality and more time sleeping. Because i don't recommend sleep trackers I also suggest to look at how rested I felt that day and how my mood was. This will tell you more than any tracker. Hope this helps🙏

In my Inner Circle group for sleep we were talking about red light so I wanted to share it here too: When we talk about red light, there is Red Light Therapy and then simple red light bulbs with very different purposes. I'll start with the bulbs. I am a big fan of very dim lighting in the house a few hours before bed. For the rooms that don't have this feature, and for my bedside lamp, I use red light bulbs. The red light bulbs on the market are a soft spectrum of redlight that don't interfere with melatonin production. Here's the low wattage red light bulbs i've been using. LINK Now as far as red light therapy, they use different spectrums of light and far more power to penetrate the body more deeply. But their are alllll sorts of claims on it's benefits: recovery, energy, sleep, skin, etc. and I don't think there's enough data to say that this is clearly helpful for sleep so I'm not suggesting it. I own one because I have found it to support my energy/recovery while also feeling extra calming to meditate in front of in the morning. The uses for sleep vary and some protocols call for evening use while others say morning. If you are curious, this is the product I use after lots of research but looks like they are more expensive these days. LINK What I believe is more effective for sleep than red light therapy is getting outside within 20 minutes of waking up, for at least 15 minutes, which is 1 sleep hygiene protocol I follow every day.
