MINDFULNESS FOR INSOMNIA

This is the first book to utilize mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindful self-compassion (MSC) for alleviating the stresses caused by insomnia. Copious studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of MBSR on insomnia.

Break the cycle of anxious thinking and rumination that keeps you up at night. In this evidence-based guide, a trained mindfulness expert teams up with a behavioral sleep specialist to offer powerful meditations and an
innovative four-week protocol to address the emotional stresses and anxieties that lie at the root of sleep issues. Readers will learn practices grounded in mindfulness to alleviate the mental, emotional, and physical suffering caused by insomnia. They'll also learn to identify internal and external factors that may be compromising sleep, and develop a plan to address these issues.
