@SleepGP 🙌 Hi! I’m Zoe, GP and Co-founder of The Good Sleep Clinic. Nice to meet you!

One of the mechanisms by which Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be helpful for #insomnia is by helping the patient learn to reduce efforts to control events or thoughts. It is a flexible, adaptive, and effective treatment.

@PeriodsPower @Dianedanz @SurMenoNYTM So glad you are making progress- sounds like a difficult journey

[The Good Sleep Clinic @GoodSleepClinic]

@sleepscientist Thanks to all involved at taking this stand and modelling this culture. 👏Sorry you had to go through it. That kind of toxicity can put people right off posting or engaging for fear of the “take down” and I bet some great contributions get missed due to this.

@PeriodsPower @MairElliott1 @IAPMDglobal @seeherthrive @SurmenoConnect @Dianedanz @mymenopausedr I spoke to @drmenopausecare about this on Instagram last week. If hormones seem stable than can discuss with your dr about treatment for insomnia. Good luck, sounds hard time

[The Good Sleep Clinic @GoodSleepClinic]

@PeriodsPower @MairElliott1 @IAPMDglobal @seeherthrive @SurmenoConnect @Dianedanz @mymenopausedr Ah @PeriodsPower so sorry to hear you are struggling. definitely speak to your dr to ensure your menopause care is optimised. But then... it may be that it would help to look at it from insomnia point of view (often hormones are just the trigger)

[The Good Sleep Clinic @GoodSleepClinic]

@PeriodsPower @MairElliott1 @IAPMDglobal @seeherthrive @SurmenoConnect @Dianedanz @mymenopausedr Even when hormones are ok again then the habit of poor sleep can continues...

“Sleep efficiency” is the proportion of the time that you spend in bed that you are actually asleep. Our sleep treatment programmes aim to improve your sleep efficiency, improving the sleep quality, helping you feel well rested the next day https://t.co/4LgpofmcCa

[The Good Sleep Clinic @GoodSleepClinic]

“Sleep hygiene” is not a standardised treatment, it is delivered in different ways and includes different instructions and advice. It can be a helpful approach to improve disturbed but is not a standalone treatment for insomnia. Find out more in our blog

Dancing in the dark, always makes me think of the pains of shift work "I came home in the mornin' I go to bed feelin' the same way, I ain't nothing but tired"

⁦so glad to hear ⁦@Sara_Sleep⁩ talk to us about sleep in Menopause- it’s not just a drop in Oestrogen that causes the problems! #menopause #insomnia #goodsleep

@CharlotteA_PR @LizzyDening So ...it may help to: stick to a routine (that works for you), get some extra morning light, and consider if any worries or stress might also be contributing to experience. Good luck!

[The Good Sleep Clinic @GoodSleepClinic]

@CharlotteA_PR @LizzyDening Anxiety: lockdown has led to understandable anxiety for many. This can actually reduce the quality of sleep we get (even if it seems we are getting plenty) - leading to more tiredness and sleepiness the next day.
