YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In class 3 of our course about how to get better sleep, we dig in on a moment most of us are familiar with – waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep. Sometimes our default setting is to keep thinking our endless thoughts, but, it turns out, what we really need is a distraction. And you want to make sure to find the right kind of distraction – one that requires little to no thinking or mental commitment. Cristina explores tips on how to do that and an accessory that can help.

Here are some of Cristina’s favorite suggestions for soothing distractions that might work for you:

• The autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt ()

• Rick Steves’s travel podcasts ()
