The more you focus on something, the more amplified it becomes.
Imagine trying to sleep while dealing with chronic pain. It’s a frustrating reality for many, especially during stressful times like the pandemic. On this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen chat with sleep expert Dr. Shane Creado about practical ways to manage pain and get better sleep. Dr. Creado, a seasoned sleep medicine specialist, dives into techniques that can help ease your discomfort and improve your rest. One of the standout strategies Dr.
Creado discusses is progressive muscle relaxation. By tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups, you can release built-up tension and calm your body before bedtime. He also highlights the power of guided imagery, where visualizing peaceful scenes can promote relaxation and make drifting off easier. Morning stretching is another tip from Dr. Creado.
Starting your day with gentle stretches can relieve soreness and stiffness, setting a positive tone for the rest of the day and improving your sleep quality at night. He also touches on the connection between chronic pain and sleep apnea, noting that muscle relaxants might worsen sleep apnea symptoms. Physical therapy done earlier in the day can help avoid this issue. Positive thinking plays a crucial role too.
Focusing on positive thoughts and engaging in activities you love can distract from pain and lift your mood. Whether it’s a hobby or spending time with loved ones, these distractions can make a big difference. Lastly, Dr. Creado shares his insights on hypnosis as a tool for better sleep. He explains how hypnosis can optimize sleep quality and recommends seeking a qualified practitioner for the best results.
This episode is packed with valuable advice for anyone struggling with chronic pain and sleep issues. From relaxation techniques to the benefits of hypnosis, Dr. Creado offers a multifaceted approach to help you take control of your sleep and improve your overall well-being.
