Legally Drunk - Due to a Lack of Sleep
How much sleep do we really need? A long asked question that has - after a very long study - been answered... we think.
Attention to Joy - Thank You Nick Cave
Today I came across a reply to a couple of questions asked of Nick Cave on his blog https://www.theredhandfiles.com

Trick Yourself into Feeling Better
This morning I ran a webinar and as I was rambling along I remembered a trick that helps to 'scramble' the worries, anxieties etc that we can often experience - and it involves a pencil.
It's a short video, and, it may bring a smile to your dial
Stop, Acknowledge, Breathe
Walking yesterday morning with my wife, chatting about the day ahead, when she stops, red faced and whipping off her jumper says, 'so overwhelmed... hot flush!'
From the outside, and as a bloke, it is difficult at least to watch my beloved going through this 'rite of passage' known as perimenopause. Hot flashes, cold flushes, emotional and physical discomfort, disturbed sleep and more. It's epic!
So you believe in something. Why is this important, and what can we do to make it work?
‘Night and Sleep’ — Evelyn De Morgan
So you believe in something. Good for you. Makes life more manageable and gives you something to focus upon, and when necessary, argue about. Beliefs structure our culture and our world: political, religious, community, commercial.
Unfortunately, our beliefs, regardless of their context and foundations, are not ecological.
Naps are Not Just for a Sunday
“Nature has not intended mankind to work from eight in the morning until midnight without that refreshment of blessed oblivion which, even if it only lasts twenty minutes, is sufficient to renew all the vital forces.” Winston Churchill
Seriously, if we're lucky, we will make time for a nap on Sunday, however more so than ever before we fill our weekends with 'stuff to do'.
Thinking about Sleep - those thoughts REALLY matter
The thoughts you have about sleep are affecting it!
Have you ever wondered how powerful the effect of your thinking is when it comes to sleep?
How many times have you woken up thinking that your sleep may have been somewhat lacking? And how would you know it was lacking? Because you are remembering the waking up and 'trying' to get back to sleep moments.
What’s the best bedtime?
When it comes to a waking up having had a 'great sleep', so much can depend on timing.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING!
In Ayurveda, an ancient and widely used form of holistic healthcare originating in India, it is believed that aligning ones daily activity with the vibrational movements of nature can lead to a more balanced and healthy life.
