I know people, depressed, anxious and with ptsd, to whom night time seems to be the worst part of the day. They spend all daytime tired, taking short naps, and at night they light up, wanting to rest but never really doing it. I have a stressful job and personal life in general, but at night I'm able to cool down and relax. I cannot imagine how it must feel wanting to rest, have nice dreans, relax and not being able to. You talked about rutines, what's one thing people can do to improve resting?
Meditation and exercise improve resting and quality of sleep. They are very healing. Walking for 20 minutes each day makes a significant difference. And longer walks are usually even more beneficial. Our bodies and minds do the most healing and rejuvenation between 10pm and 2am so consistently going to bed several minutes before 10pm is a good idea to improve quality of sleep. Anything relaxing or pleasant, like beautiful and uplifting music, can improve resting as well. And last but not least, being of true service to others without wanting or expecting anything in return, is very healing and improves ever aspect of our lives.
grief is most definitely one of the many things that feeds into my insomnia.. I have trouble shutting down and I tend to wake up with mt heart and my mind racing. I still coping with my thoughts, so thank you for this information 🤍
This is the second short video on grief and loss I have watched by you , Dr , and i find both you, and your messages, calming. Thanks for practical suggestions and tools. I just had a sleepless night and finally in am recognized that the pain in my ‘digestive ‘ system was my body’s response to emotions. I finally felt compassion for my suffering. Then your video reminded me that, unlike what i usually do, I had not paused and started to journal when my body began to ‘balloon’ and the acid started up. :-). This am I will take out my journal. Thank you again.
Meditation and exercise are very healing and help with grief a lot. Walking for 20 minutes each day makes a significant difference. And longer walks are usually even more beneficial.

Thank you Dr. Robinson. I wake and can't fall back asleep since my mom's funeral. But, I do fall back asleep again and get enough sleep. I'll start writing at night. I think I'll get teased for it, but whatever.
I had a hard year, like so many other people... I was with my ex during several tragedies in her life, watched her just fade away as she dumped me as I pleaded with her to get some help, my brother disowned me, which shifted my family, and I struggled with bouts of intense illness, was i injured and almost lost my own life ... it was one hell of a year.
I'm glad this Wake Up episode is uploaded on the channel! I remember feeling so comforted by this particular video because I've faced a few symbolic losses before, and this helped me figure out how to cope with those, in case those memories arise again.
My mother and I are grieving my grandmother. I personally find myself grieving the most at nighttime, but for my mother it hits her during the morning time 😢
I have processed my loss during the day, but when I lay down to sleep I get flashbacks and I can’t sleep and I cry and I can’t sleep. Staying busy doesn’t help either.
Because of this I’m actually planning to quit drinking soda, like every soda except ones with low energy (if sprite has lower energy then I’ll only drink sprite)

I love the idea of rhythms instead of routines.

Writing is fundamental for putting order in your brain. You create a phisical space and visualize all the stuff that needs to be in place
I wish you all the best sleep and rest in the world!
🧡 Sending you lots of love. Hoping the writing tip works for you!
Had a rough night due to it being a grief anniversary.This helped. .

So important to recognize that symbolic loss is still loss. 🧡
this is great; super helpful, accessible, practical, actionable. thank you!
I dread going to sleep every night. I don’t want to wake up another day without my fiancée. He died 6 years ago and I still miss him so much.
I hope he rests in peace. I hope you find the joy he would want you to feel.

Loved that one, so interesting!
Thank you 😊
Love you

The sound effects are horrible. She speaks way too fast for the info to set in.
