@drsermedmezher: “Nothing Gets Me to Sleep at Night” #wait Cognitive shuffling is a technique designed to help eliminate insomnolent thoughts by mimicking the natural pattern of thinking that occurs during the pre-sleep state. Normally, as we drift off to sleep, our minds wander randomly through disconnected images and thoughts, a process that helps us transition into sleep. However, when we struggle with insomnia, our minds often get stuck on repetitive or stressful thoughts, making it difficult to relax. Cognitive shuffling works by deliberately introducing a sequence of random, neutral thoughts or images to break the cycle of overthinking. By mentally focusing on unrelated, non-stressful words or objects (such as visualizing different items that start with each letter of the alphabet), the brain is distracted from more pressing concerns and begins to engage in the kind of mental drift that naturally precedes sleep. This gentle distraction quiets the mind and mimics the normal pre-sleep state, easing the transition into rest and helping to alleviate insomnia. #insomnia #sleep #tired
