how do I get out of my head when I'm trying to sleep
Hi Jessica, I find that I have a lot of expectations when it comes to sleep, mostly connected to my previous experiences. These include the expectation that I'm going to have trouble sleeping (getting and staying) if I have something I anticipate doing the next day (traveling for example), the expectation that if I go to bed a little early (1 hour or so) I'm going to have even more trouble going to sleep than usual, and the expectation that I'm going to wake up at least twice a night and may or may not have trouble getting back to sleep. I know that I'm making it harder for myself, essentially creating a self fulfilling prophecy. So my question is how do I stop? That said, I want you to know how much I appreciate Sleep Magic. You make it so much easier to get to sleep and get back to sleep. Most times, I end up disappointed because I want to hear the podcast, but I end up asleep before I can. Not a bad problem to have. Thank you so much for what you. Noelle
For a long time I have been able to sign in to sleepmagic.supercast.com by using a email address and password. Lately I can only sign using an email address. For me this is inconvenient because my email address is not on my phone, and I would have to go downstairs to my PC to retrieve a code and then back upstairs to bed. Can you offer me a solution? jt .
Day time Hypnosis
Hi Jessica, Have you ever thought to expand to hypnosis during the day or to kick daily bad habits? I love your voice and it brings me so much comfort, that after 2 years of listening I want to add to it and have a session during the day to drink more water or quit smoking. Not to sleep but to get into the meditation state to be able to change habits. I feel like you have changed my sleep and that is why I support the show monthly! Thank you for all you do!

Would you be open to doing a Relaxing Sunday Vibes kind of audio?
Hi, I recently discovered sleep magic and have been really enjoying the nature walks. I was wondering if you'd be open to doing a relaxing/lazy Sunday vibe, waking up late in a picturesque location, near a beach, woods or fields of flowers. Grabbing a comfy camping chair and a book and wandering to a favourite spot, maybe bringing your pet with you and snuggling up with your book in the sun with fresh spring air. Looking up to see clouds rolling in and heading home, only just being caught in the rain as you get home and standing under cover with your hand out feeling the rain drops on your hand before heading inside. Making a hot drink, I'd choose tea or hot chocolate, and snuggling up in a window seat to continue your book with the sound of the rain on the window. I can imagine it in my head, but I always get sidetracked. Listening to your audios keeps my brain on the story, and I love imagining all the beautiful places you talk about.
Episode suggestion
Hey Jessica, Love what you're doing - longtime fan! My friends have been talking a lot about self sabotage at the moment. We have no idea what causes it (maybe a mixture of low self esteem, guilt, not being used to things going your way?) But we all feel it. In our jobs, our careers, our hobbies, and definitely our relationships. Anyway a long preamble to say: we'd love an episode on self-sabotage! Xoxo
What episode would you recommend
Im a brain innury support worker and i was the first person to find on of my favourite people after she had a massive stroke in her home. Today i went to the hospital to say my good byes as she is not going to make it. What meditation would you recommend for me to listen to? I listen every night before bed and grief ones are too hard for me but also its a client. So its a different grief and how to now not associate work with sadness. I hope you understand what im trying to get at. A meditation for loss but work must go on and we learn from this experince.
