Anyone who has had a night or two of poor sleep knows the importance of protecting that habit. We know that when we don't get good sleep we're a little bit shorter in our reactions to people, everything seems a little bit more stressful, and typically our ability to problem solve and manage our stress is limited.
But how do we sleep better? Especially since it seems as though once we move into midlife, our body just naturally wakes up in the middle of the night over thinking of all the things that we've forgotten to do during the day.
If you google "How do I sleep better?" you'll get a whole host of articles about sleep hygiene. And sleep hygiene is super important. But if you've struggled with sleep, you've probably already done all the things & are still frustrated.
Have no worry. Janet Whalen is a sleep coach & how she approaches insomnia & solves it is different than any other approach I've ever seen.
Be prepared to be blown away!
Tune in to Episode 59 to learn how to sleep better, but do it from a perspective that you've never thought of before.
About Janet Whalen:
Janet Whalen is a Sleep & Stress Management Coach for midlife moms. A former insomniac (40+ years!) turned great sleeper, Janet is passionate about helping women give themselves permission to sleep, rest and care for themselves after years of giving everything to family and others. Janet's membership coaching program, "Permission To Sleep", helps her members sleep better in 8 weeks or less without pills, potions, or needing anyone's permission but their own. Janet is a Certified life coach with The Life Coach School and was formerly trained at CTI as a Co-Active coach. She is also trained in CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia). Before she found her own sleep solution, she spent years as a marketer, family photographer, and mom to her two sons, who are now young adults. Now she's empty-nesting in Southern Ontario with her husband of almost 25 years and can be found reading, kayaking, hiking, and working in her garden when she's not talking about sleep.
