Tried everything? Then it’s time to try ACT
“Our method is to teach people to be open to being awake, thus letting go of the need to try and force it,” explains Dr Meadows, who adds that supplements, pills and potions can actually set you back in your quest for good sleep. “The problem is that people can quickly become both physically and psychologically reliant on them to sleep.” The trick is to master how we respond to difficulty in dropping off, instead.
Want to try it yourself? Here, Dr Meadows shares the three key steps of ACT to help you fall asleep faster, below.“Sleep is a natural biological process that can’t be controlled. Battling against it can be likened to an endless game of tug of war, which only wakes you up more. As per ACT, the first step towards achieving better sleep is to accept that you’re awake.
