Is Sleep Paralysis Dangerous?

We’ll explore the causes of sleep paralysis, the symptoms you might experience, and how to stop sleep paralysis using proven behavioral treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i).

Good sleep doesn’t require following every sleep r Good sleep doesn’t require following every sleep rule perfectly. 💤

You can watch TV before bed.
Your bedtime can vary.
And having a bad night doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong.

In fact, I care much more about how you respond to a bad night than whether you have one.

Because sleeping in, going to bed extra early, and trying harder to make yourself sleep can sometimes keep insomnia going.

Sleep needs a lot less perfection than the internet would have you believe.

👋 Follow for evidence-based sleep advice that gives you fewer sleep rules, not more.

Libras… be honest. ♎️ How perfectly balanced does Libras… be honest. ♎️

How perfectly balanced does everything have to feel before you can go to sleep?

✨ The pillows have to be _exactly_ even
✨ The room needs to feel cozy, calm, and aesthetically pleasing
✨ You’ve changed your mind three times about whether you’re too hot or too cold
✨ You need to know everyone is okay before you can fully relax
✨ And yes, the lighting matters

There’s nothing wrong with liking things a certain way. But when preferences turn into sleep rules, “I need everything to feel right or I won’t sleep,” they can add more pressure to bedtime.

The pillows can be uneven.
The temperature can be slightly off.
You can still be deciding whether that text sounded weird.

Sleep doesn’t need perfect balance, even if you’re a Libra. 😴♎️

Tag a Libra who needs everything to feel just right before bed. 👀

Some aspects of sleep can have a biological or genetic component. But not everything that runs in a family is genetic.

We also grow up watching how the people around us approach sleep: their habits, worries, rules and what they do after a bad night.

Maybe everyone in your family calls themselves a “bad sleeper.” Maybe you automatically go to bed early after a bad night because that’s what your mom always did. Or maybe you picked up a whole collection of sleep rules without realizing it.

Some sleep traits may be inherited. Others may simply be learned.

And the learned ones aren’t set in stone. 💤

Sawyer has apparently chosen a different approach.

Sometimes all the things we do to try to get sleep exactly right just give us more things to worry about.

Sawyer’s strategy: absolutely none of that. 💤
