Like eating, drinking and breathing, we need sleep to survive. So how can something that should be so natural, instinctual, and automatic be so hard?
As a psychologist who studies sleep for a living, I’ve worked with hundreds of patients to improve their sleep through cognitive behavioral therapy.
Through my research, I’ve found that the No. 1 sleep killer isn’t social media or an uncomfortable mattress — it’s rumination.
Rumination leads to poor sleep
Rumination is a sleep blocker because it keeps your mind aroused, especially in bed, when it’s dark and quiet.
Your attention is drawn back, again and again, to this thing that didn’t go well or to a regret. I’ve laid in bed and replayed a dumb comment I made at a party, even though the person I said it to probably forgot it moments later.
Negative thoughts and emotions like these are what neuroscientists call “salient” because they are so noticeable and loud.
