🤔 Questions that keep us awake… What’s the most common sleep position?
(Answer at the end of the issue.)
Actionable wisdom:
“Like fire needs oxygen, many sleep problems—like insomnia—thrive on anxiety.
So, how does one begin to fix the sleep of someone whose anxiety speedometer is redlining?”
😬 If you’re like us, the events of the past year have left you with a loathing for Zoom meetings, confusion as to how your pets ever got by without you being available 24/7 and a nasty case of cabin fever from spending too much time at home.
Another residual effect: the psychological damage that we’ve all endured. More than 80%of the people who participated in Mental Health America’s screening in September of 2020 scored a result of moderate to severe anxiety.
Stress is on the rise — which means that good sleep is on the decline. That’s why sleep specialist Dr. Christopher Winter put together 5 tips to sleep well during anxious times.
Check out his guidelines to find out where you are on the “sleep spectrum” — and why you should always aim for the middle.
This week’s cool thing:
🧺 The snow has melted, the days are longer and you’re probably already feeling that spring-cleaning urge. Looking for a place to start? How about that chaotic bedroom closet?
Let Apartment Therapy inspire you with 4 free tips from stagers that’ll tame that wild closet and make it look professionally organized.
Side note:
🎶“Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop…” Have you ever wondered why the baby was in the treetop in the first place, especially on a windy day when bough breakage was expected?
And if you think our home-grown lullabies are disturbing, just take a look at Sleep Junkies’ creepiest lullabies from around the world. Sleep well, or as parents sing to Russian children, 🎵“The silent night hides everything. He sneaks up behind you and is going to get you...”🎵
(We assume the last verse is about how a therapist is one day going to really cash in.)
💡Answer: If you sleep like a baby when you’re in the fetal position, you’re in good company: WebMD reports this as the go-to sleep style for more than 40% of the population.
You back-sleepers are the renegades, representing a mere 8%. (We applaud your rugged individuality.)
