Book Bedtime Procrastination Cure

Download or read book Bedtime Procrastination Cure written by Dylan Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-11 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constantly tired? Depressed? Puffy eyes? Making mistakes & missing deadlines at work?Science agrees that going to bed and waking up at the same time every day is one of the best things you can do for your sleep and health in general. But modern living features some of the most compelling temptations in the form of digital entertainment. If it's not Social Media that's keeping you up at night with endless streams of Snapchat stories, it's a binge watching marathon of a Netflix series that has you hooked and unable to go to bed. If waking up early and feeling fresh sounds like a dream to you, then continue reading. You cannot be an early riser and a bedtime procrastinator at the same time.Insomnia and bedtime procrastination are not the same thing but are closely interrelated. There aren't enough practical solutions. The most common approach to fixing sleep problems is to promote medication use among sufferers. But sleep medication can only address part of the problem and has the potential to create substance abuse tendencies. Most of you know that sleep is essential to your health and well being and yet its the first daily activity to be shortened if work or entertainment captures your attention close to designated bedtime. Until medical science comes up with a way to eliminate our need to sleep completely (which is unlikely to happen in our lifetime), humans will have to come up with ways to allow for sufficient quality sleep in balance with the rest of their day. Humans are largely designed for around 16 hours of awake time. The quality and regularity of your sleep will ultimately determine the quality of those 16 hours awake. Everything from hormonal levels like Testosterone & Estrogen production to Brain fog & Neurogenesis will be determined by the quality of your sleep.You might have everything in place to conquer life and beat the challenges that you face everyday - a solid plan, smart goals and drive to succeed but if you're not getting enough rest, the best plans are bound to fail. This book is for those adults who deal with daytime sleepiness on a daily basis. Sleep requirements vary among humans but if you are a chronic bedtime procrastinator, you will most likely not be getting a sufficient amount of sleep.A persistent tendency to postpone bedtimes with a consistently shifting sleep cycle commonly leads to crippling insomnia, preventing sufferers from leading a satisfying life. A common pattern seen in people with regular jobs involves partying late into the night on Friday nights through the weekend with a sudden shift in bed times as the following Monday approaches. The equivalent 'jet lag' like effect wreaks havoc on an individual's mind, body, hormones and well being. Bedtime procrastination Cure is the first attempt at providing concrete techniques to resolve a life long sleeping problem.Bedtime Procrastination Cure attempts to suggest completely new and unique approaches to fixing an errant sleep pattern. This book features: Beating binge watching addictions & temptations to keep you from sleep Techniques to 'nudge' your sleep cycle back into shape Optimized weekend sleep patterns & light therapy Mental hacks to improve sleep quality & consistency Using everyday technology to optimize sleep patterns Dylan has worked hard to come up with 9 techniques that come together as a system to conquer that sleep issue once and for all. His book features practical insights, solid techniques and simple hacks to address sleep issues that have never been published before in the mainstream. If sleep procrastination is the one thing holding you back from achieving your dreams, it's time for a bedtime procrastination cure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on procrastination has grown exponentially in recent years.

The first section of the book provides an overview of current conceptualizations and philosophical issues in understanding how procrastination relates to health and well-being including a critical discussion of the assumptions and rationalizations that are inherent to procrastination. The next section of the book focuses on current theory and research highlighting the issues and implications of procrastination for physical health and health behaviors, while the third section presents current perspectives on the interrelationships between procrastination and psychological well-being. The volume concludes with an overview of potential areas for future research in the growing field of procrastination, health, and well-being. Reviews interdisciplinary research on procrastination Conceptualizes procrastination as an issue of self-regulation and maladaptive coping, not time management Identifies the public and private health implications of procrastination Explores the guilt and shame that often accompany procrastination Discusses temporal views of the stress and chronic health conditions associated with procrastination

Book excerpt: Nick Ortner, founder of the Tapping World Summit and best-selling filmmaker of The Tapping Solution, is at the forefront of a new healing movement. In his upcoming book, The Tapping Solution, he gives readers everything they need to successfully start using the powerful practice of tapping – or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Tapping is one of the fastest and easiest ways to address both the emotional and physical problems that tend to hamper our lives. Using the energy meridians of the body, practitioners tap on specific points while focusing on particular negative emotions or physical sensations. The tapping helps calm the nervous system to restore the balance of energy in the body, and in turn rewire the brain to respond in healthy ways. This kind of conditioning can help rid practitioners of everything from chronic pain to phobias to addictions. Because of tapping’s proven success in healing such a variety of problems, Ortner recommends to try it on any challenging issue. In The Tapping Solution, Ortner describes not only the history and science of tapping but also the practical applications. In a friendly voice, he lays out easy-to-use practices, diagrams, and worksheets that will teach readers, step-by-step, how to tap on a variety of issues. With chapters covering everything from the alleviation of pain to the encouragement of weight loss to fostering better relationships, Ortner opens readers’ eyes to just how powerful this practice can be. Throughout the book, readers will see real-life stories of healing ranging from easing the pain of fibromyalgia to overcoming a fear of flying. The simple strategies Ortner outlines will help readers release their fears and clear the limiting beliefs that hold them back from creating the life they want.

Book excerpt: The truth is that you can defeat your fears. The author of the four-million-copy bestselling Feeling Good offers 40+ simple, effective CBT-based techniques to overcome every conceivable kind of anxiety—without medication. “Few truly great books on psychotherapy have been published, and this is one of them.”—Albert Ellis, Ph.D., founder of the Albert Ellis Institute and bestselling author of A Guide to Rational Living We all know what it’s like to feel anxious, worried, or panicky. What you may not realize is that these fears are almost never based on reality. When you’re anxious, you’re actually fooling yourself, telling yourself things that simply aren’t true. See if you can recognize yourself in any of these distortions: All-or-Nothing Thinking: “My mind will go blank when I give my presentation at work, and everyone will think I’m an idiot.” Fortune Telling: “I just know I’ll freeze up and blow it when I take my test.” Mind Reading: “Everyone at this party can see how nervous I am.” Magnification: “Flying is so dangerous. I think this plane is going to crash!” Should Statements: “I shouldn’t be so anxious and insecure. Other people don’t feel this way.” Self-Blame: “What’s wrong with me? I’m such a loser!” Mental Filter: “Why can’t I get anything done? My life seems like one long procrastination.” Using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on practical, solution-based methods for understanding and overcoming negative thoughts and emotions, When Panic Attacks gives you the ammunition to quickly defeat every conceivable kind of anxiety, such as chronic worrying, shyness, public speaking anxiety, test anxiety, and phobias, without lengthy therapy or prescription drugs. With forty fast-acting techniques that have been shown to be more effective than medications, When Panic Attacks is an indispensable handbook for anyone who’s worried sick and sick of worrying.

Download or read book The Quick Fix written by Jesse Singal and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigative journalist exposes the many holes in today’s bestselling behavioral science, and argues that the trendy, TED-Talk-friendly psychological interventions that are so in vogue at the moment will never be enough to truly address social injustice and inequality. With their viral TED talks, bestselling books, and counter-intuitive remedies for complicated problems, psychologists and other social scientists have become the reigning thinkers of our time. Grit and “power posing” promised to help overcome entrenched inequalities in schools and the workplace; the Army spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a positive psychology intervention geared at preventing PTSD in its combat soldiers; and the implicit association test swept the nation on the strength of the claim that it can reveal unconscious biases and reduce racism in police departments and human resources departments. But what if much of the science underlying these blockbuster ideas is dubious or fallacious? What if Americans’ longstanding preference for simplistic self-help platitudes is exerting a pernicious influence on the way behavioral science is communicated and even funded, leading respected academics and the media astray? In The Quick Fix, Jesse Singal examines the most influential ideas of recent decades and the shaky science that supports them. He begins with the California legislator who introduced self-esteem into classrooms around the country in the 1980s and the Princeton political scientist who warned of an epidemic of youthful “superpredators” in the 1990s. In both cases, a much-touted idea had little basis in reality, but had a massive impact. Turning toward the explosive popularity of 21st-century social psychology, Singal examines the misleading appeal of entertaining lab results and critiques the idea that subtle unconscious cues shape our behavior. As he shows, today’s popular behavioral science emphasizes repairing, improving, and optimizing individuals rather than truly understanding and confronting the larger structural forces that drive social ills. Like Anand Giridharadas’s Winners Take All, The Quick Fix is a fresh and powerful indictment of the thought leaders and influencers who cut corners as they sell the public half-baked solutions to problems that deserve more serious treatment.
