Am I Dreaming and Why?
Posted on August 14, 2019| Posted in Sleep
What are Dreams?
Dreams typically involve elements from waking lives—like known people or familiar locations—but they often take on a fantastical feel. While dreams are frequently interesting, and can allow people to act out certain scenarios that would never be possible in real life, they aren’t always positive—negative dreams, referred to as ‘nightmares,’ can create feelings of terror, anxiety, or utter despair, and can lead to psychological distress or sleep problems like insomnia.
Sleep Awareness: Napping
Posted on June 17, 2019| Posted in Sleep
The ability to nap may be decided by the social acceptability of the activity or it may have more to do with practicality.

WAKE UP WITH A SMILE IN 2019!
Posted on January 17, 2019| Posted in Mindfulness
We love the idea of a theme for the year- That’s why we focused on WAKE UP WITH A SMILE in 2019! Instead of another ho-hum year with resolutions that seem to break down for many of us by mid-February, an annual theme is a great way to serve as a guiding light and help you make decisions so you remain on purpose for your focus for the year. Declaring our theme for the year was inspired by the everyday moments and the knowledge that WAKING UP WITH A SMILE each day can reset your mood and give you a sense of positive purpose to face your day.
