People who have impacted sleep tend to be like, right, I've got to fix what I do in the evening.

It's not about

My clients who have impacted sleep, I don't even focus on the sleep.

They don't have a sleep problem.

They have a stress control problem.

They're spending all day in the red and they expect to switch off at night.

It doesn't work like that.

So what we do is we integrate things into the day that shift them into a calm state.

Remember that oscillation between red and blue?

That's how that nervous system likes to work.

We like to push and then we like to pull back and recover.

And so when you have that ability to oscillate throughout your day, sleep takes care of itself.

And then we just introduce, you know, things like dim the lights at night, cool the room, have a wind down routine.

Yeah, get off the phone an hour before going to sleep.

So I guess roundabout way of answering your question is if you're going into something that's really challenging, you bring energy.

The balance that you have in your body, in your mind, in your nervous system into those moments.

Something that you work on, not just for two weeks.

It's something you work on every day.

That is still stress, right?

This comes back to this whole thing of we view stress as something that's negative.
