What is mindfulness? How is it used? How can it help with sleep? These are all questions we try to answer in this episode, with the help of Dr Antonio Fernando (Psychiatrist), Dr Allie Peters (Psychologist) and guest co-host Dr Giselle Withers (Psychologist). Mindfulness can be a great skill to help with sleep, but learning mindfulness takes time and a structured approach with guidance from an experienced teacher. Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) and Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk, talking all things sleep.
