Fall Asleep More Easily
Dawn's CBT-I is an evidence-based treatment that can help you fall asleep quickly.
Having Trouble Falling Asleep Easily?
Struggling to fall asleep is a common problem, affecting millions of lives around the world. The reality is most people - up to 70% - report difficulty falling asleep on 'some' nights, and that’s okay, because sleep is not meant to be perfect all the time.
The trouble begins when the problem extends to 'most' nights. Lying awake in bed can become a habit – as it has for 30% of the world's population. This begins a self-perpetuating cycle when trying to sleep (and thoughts about it) actually keeps you awake, leading to the longer cycle of chronic poor sleep.
It is at this point people often turn to medications for a quick fix. Thus, you'll be hard-pressed to find a household that hasn't tried some form of sleeping medication, over the counter (OTC) sleep supplement, or a 'natural remedy.' In truth, these can offer up some immediate relief because these medications and supplements can suppress arousal. However, the effect is short-lived because once these substances are out of the body, the arousal returns. Additionally, the body eventually adapts to the sedating properties of these remedies, often leading to frustration when once again, the arousal returns.
The result is that you are back where you started - sleep-deprived and frustrated. This is not a good place to be because studies link the lack of sleep to various cardiovascular, metabolic, and mental health disorders. Not only that, you are three times more likely to have work-related accidents if you are sleep-deprived. This can be dangerous, both for you and others.

Built on research backed CBT-I
Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance. It can also quickly become a sleep effort - something that you try to do with the expectation that it will improve your sleep. Sleep is counter-intuitive, the less effort you spend trying to sleep, the more it comes naturally.
While meditation in itself isn’t harmful, doing it every night with the expectation that it should help you sleep can be. Everytime you try it and it doesn’t work constantly reinforces the notion that sleep is something that can be controlled. Dawn’s program helps you identify such sleep efforts and negative thinking patterns and helps you sleep better naturally.
