177. Mental Health and Sleep with Clémence from Bien dans son plumard

People are sleeping less and less — 11% of the population suffers from insomnia — and the repercussions on well-being and mental health are numerous. In this episode, I invited Clémence, psychologist specialising in sleep disorders and founder of the @bien_dans_mon_plumard account (I love the name!!) to talk to us about sleep and its impact on our nervous system. In 8 years of practice, I observe that sleep disorders are often both a consequence and an aggravating factor of nervous system dysregulation that I encounter in my clients. In this episode, we explore:

• Why lack of sleep directly impacts mental health and the nervous system
• The most common causes of sleep disorders (insomnia, hyperarousal, night-time anxiety)
• The common mistakes that worsen difficulties falling asleep
• Concrete tools for improving sleep quality
