We all know that sleep is crucial to our wellbeing! And we hear a lot about how to improve our sleep routines and sleep hygiene. In this episode, I'm going to focus more on the neuroscience behind sleep and our circadian rhythms. We talk about the PLEASE skill in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which focuses on sleep. We talk about natural ways to improve your sleep, and we talk about ways to reduce anxiety around getting good sleep.
