Solving Sleep Problems Resources

For lawyers and staff at Holland & Knight

 

About This Program:

Sleep: we all need it to function, and we all seem to get too little of it. Occasional, short-term sleep issues are no cause for concern, but chronic insomnia can harm a person’s health, well-being, and ability to function. Legal professionals are especially susceptible due to the stresses and high stakes of our work.

In this program, we explore strategies for overcoming insomnia and improving sleep quality. We learn ways to avoid common sleep mistakes, to make our bedrooms and lifestyles more conducive to healthy sleep, and to combat stress and negative thought patterns around sleep. The workshop draws on mindfulness, sleep psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (“CBTi”).
