become a peaceful moment.
Instead of immediately reaching for your phone, you might try:
- Taking a few slow breaths
- Practicing quiet meditation
- Writing down thoughts that are keeping you awake
- Doing a brief relaxation exercise
- Returning your attention to your breathing
If you become fully awake and can’t return to sleep, a quiet activity such as reading or journaling may help until you feel sleepy again.
Don’t Watch the Clock All Night
One habit that can make nighttime awakenings more frustrating is repeatedly checking the clock.
You wake up.
You
