For those who struggle to get a good night’s sleep: you’re not alone. According to a Consumer Reports survey, 164 million Americans – that’s 68% of the American population – reported in 2015 that they experience sleep difficulties at least once a week. Of those, 27% said that they struggle to fall or to stay asleep on most nights. These widespread sleep struggles have led to a boom in the sleep business. In 2015, spending on sleep aids and remedies in the United States reached a staggering $41 billion.

The numbers beg the question. Is there another way of overcoming our sleep struggles that is natural, effective, and doesn’t break the bank? The answer to that question is a yes! It is entirely possible to dig into the root cause of our sleep struggles using mindfulness as our primary tool. By incorporating mindfulness practices both during the day and just before bedtime, we can facilitate our ability to rest with ease naturally, effectively, and without cost. Fortunately, there are several great mindfulness exercises for sleep.
