Break the cycle of insomnia and bad dreams, and start getting the sleep you need to be your best—based on the #1 recommended treatment for nightmare disorders by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

Are you struggling with nightmares or waking up in a panic on a regular basis? Do you avoid going to sleep because you fear having a bad dream? Do you feel fatigued, sleepy, or irritable during the day? Are you experiencing poor memory and concentration? Sleep is essential—and sleep deprivation can radically disrupt your work, relationships, and overall quality of life. But there are tools you can use to get a good night's rest, starting tonight. Whether your nightmares stem from high levels of stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or trauma, this comprehensive toolkit will help you break free from the vicious cycle of nightmares and insomnia.

This comprehensive workbook offers a variety of evidence-based tools, including imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT)—the gold standard for treating nightmare disorders—to help you get the rest you need. Using proven-effective techniques such as visualization and lucidity checks, you'll learn to boost feelings of comfort and relaxation, rewrite your dreams, and improve the quality of your sleep. Finally, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of your sleep struggles, enabling you to set goals and track your progress.

This toolkit for better sleep also includes skills based in:

  • Exposure, relaxation, and rescription therapy (ERRT)
  • Lucid dreaming therapy (LDT)
  • Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)
  • Sleep hygiene tips and strategies
  • And more!

If you're living with chronic nightmares and sleep deprivation, pick up this empowering workbook, take charge of your dreams, and start getting the restful sleep you deserve.
