What could it look like if you were sleeping better?A lot of us out there, will sacrifice sleep in order to get something done. In order to have some alone time, down time, Netflix time, or maybe we’re taking care of a hungry, crying baby.Whatever your barrier for achieving a good nights’ sleep, you’re not wrong. You’re just responding to a need you might have in your life, and your behavior around sleep is therefore rationale and logical because you’re simply responding to your surroundings. And in the short-term, this might work for you…but what about the long term? Does sacrificing sleep work for you in the long term? And, what impacts does that lack of sleep have on your mental health? Today we are going to explore sleep, behavior, and a mental health condition that is not often talked about: postpartum anxiety. Our guest, Hilary McClinton, is a behavior analyst and sleep specialist who has her own story about anxiety…and how all of this is a product of her context as mom to child with sleeping difficulties, and a product of her own sleep deprivation.***In this episode I talk about a free mini course and it’s called “An Introvert’s Guide to Getting Unstuck.” It is a  free 45-minute mini course.In the workshop I guide you through a series of journaling prompts, ACT-based exercises, and ways to navigate through your individual stuck points as an introvert.
