We continue talking about what stops you from falling asleep easily at night. In today’s video, which is part 2 of this series, we’ll talk about emotional reasons why you might not be able to fall asleep easily.

If you haven’t seen the first part of this series, I’d suggest you start there and check out the first video here:    • What stops you from falling asleep easily ...  

If you can’t fall asleep at night easily because of emotions at night, then this video is good starting point.

Emotions that stop you from being able to fall asleep are naturally quite disturbing. Anything from frustration, nervousness, doubt, and even anxiety are things that clients often talk to me about. If you’ve been struggling to overcome your long-term insomnia or sleep problems, just know that more enlightened negative emotions are often a very normal part of these struggles.

The more tired you are, the more likely you are towards one of your emotional scale. Of course, you are, because your body and mind find it harder to create and experience more positive emotions when you are so tired on a daily basis.

Learning how to settle your emotions before climbing into bed is a really important part of improving all parts of your sleep. If you already take your emotions to bed with you, it’s unlikely that a tool you use as response to you feeling that way is a bit late.

Any emotion that comes from your daytime or even from your personality traits are best dealt with way before you climb into bed and hope to fall asleep. When you develop the skill to be able to do that, no matter what happens during the day, you’ll climb into bed emotionally relaxed and ready for sleep.

Your ability to emotionally relax and transition into sleep will help you not only struggle less in the first part of your night, but it will also help you being able to fall back to sleep more easily in the middle of the night. It’s very similar to the other components. The way you enter sleep initially at the beginning of your night is going to be a foundation to the whole of your night’s sleep.

I’m always curious to hear how my video resonated with you. So reach out and let me know.
