The following episode is a guided practice meant to accompany the previous episode. For context, please refer to the previous episode.    Why is it so hard for us to fall asleep at night? In the previous episode, sleep coach Lauren Ziegler suggests that it's in those quiet, dark hours of the night when our feelings catch up to us to a point of overwhelming us. In this guided meditation, she guides us through a tender journey of feeling our feelings and softening into them rather than fighting against them to help us get peacefully to sleep.    Lauren Ziegler is a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist and Sleep coach who has helped millions of people with sleep over the past 12 years.
