Research shows that depressed people dream much more than non-depressed people, distorting the balance between recuperative slow-wave sleep and energy-burning dream sleep. Clearly, because they spend so much time worrying and imagining, they have far higher amounts of unexpressed arousal to discharge. With so much energy spent on all the excessive dreaming they have to do, they wake up exhausted and lacking in motivation.
It is necessary for people in depression to be helped to challenge their negative thoughts, imagine more realistic outcomes and futures and to find ways to put meaning and purpose back into their lives. This could be through exercise, team sports, doing something for other people, learning a new skill, calling up old friends, and so on. Very often, people who are depressed start to withdraw from their usual routines, stopping going out or phoning or seeing friends, and this makes them dwell on their misery even more. It is essential, therefore, that they are helped to start meeting their emotional needs again, in healthy and satisfying ways. If the depression is due to post-traumatic stress, it is also necessary to stop the traumatic memory from continuing to interfere with life in the present. The rewind technique, a simple, non-invasive method of detraumatisation that all human givens practitioners learn, can achieve this quickly.
Dwelling on and digging up the past is dangerous. Neuropsychological research has shown that this has a physical effect on the brain, strengthening the neuronal connections with misery and negative thinking. We get better at piano or football with practice and, unfortunately, we get better at depression with practice too! So, it really is important to think to the future instead – to learn to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, take back control, find ways to bring meaning and purpose back into life and to look forward with hope.

Anna Brooker
Therapist, Advanced Level 3 BWRT Therapist, Award Winning Women's Health Coach, Life Coach
Poor sleep and anxiety feed each other. A racing mind keeps you awake or wakes you at 3am, and being exhausted makes everything feel more stressful the next day. I use BWRT® to work with the automatic worry and alertness that switch on when you try to rest. I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Send me a message using the enquiry form and I'll get back to you.. As a certified health coach, I also look at the daily habits, stress levels and hormonal changes, such as perimenopause, that can affect sleep. If your sleep problems are persistent or severe, I can support a conversation with your GP too, so any medical causes can be ruled out. Book a free 15 minute consultation so we can talk about whether BWRT is right for you.

The Art of Rest
Life Coach, M.S. Psychology
If the Art of Rest has one major specialty, it is by far and away about sleep.
Dagny is trained as a research psychologist who spent four years studying the biomedical markers of sleep, mindfulness, and self-compassion and understands the ins and outs of what sleep is, how our body is impacted by sleep, and what to do when sleep is elusive. Her tactics range from state-of-the-art sleep science that helps pull out different elements of sleep-health as well as dives into contemplative practices like dreamwork and behavioral routines around sleep and sleep-related anxiety. She is highly successful at helping folks find a restful night, regardless of how long it's been since they've had one.
