Let Go of Sleep Anxiety

Anxious thoughts can get the best of all of us, especially at bedtime. Today, we'll walk through a progressive muscle relaxation technique you can use to ground yourself and calm your mind for sleep.

Takeaways:
1- Sleep anxiety can cause a lack of sleep, which then triggers more anxiety during the day. It can be a tough cycle to break.
2- In addition to sleep hygiene, offer yourself deep breaths and body relaxation techniques before bed.
3- Tense and relax groups of muscles one by one, holding for counts of ten. Notice how you feel after.
