Unfuck Your Sleep

I have people ask me how I get so much done in a day. I don’t think I’m Superwoman by any means, in fact I think I’m pretty spoiled in that I really enjoy all the different things that I do. But it is a fair point, that I am juggling a lot of stuff that requires mental exertion and relational presence. And my answer to that question is a pretty simple one.

I get sleep.

Seriously, I prioritize and protect my sleep like it is absolutely necessary for my survival because honestly? It is.

When clients are presenting a big bundle of symptoms related to depression, anxiety, stress, stomach issues, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and all those other things that therapists hear about, the first thing I ask is, “How’s your sleep?”

And I usually get a double-take “WTF?” reaction. As in: “I just told you that running away from everything and living in a cave with the sasquatches in the Pacific Northwest seems like a good idea and you told me to have a juicebox and a nap?” And it’s a fair question on the surface. What does sleep have to do with anxiety, depression, heart health, and inflammation? Probably a hell of a lot more than you realize.
