1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. Do you ever wake up in

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the night with anxiety thinking of all

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: the worse things that have happened and all the problems

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: that you can't solve, and they all crowd in on

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: you in the early hours of the morning. If you

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: say no, I'm going to kick you, because I think

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: it happens to everybody.

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: There are things that keep me up at night. When

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: I go to bed, I find it hard to sleep.

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily wake up. Once I find I go

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: to sleep, that's the reset for me, and then when

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: I wake up I feel better about it.

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: But often for us because the hours we keep we're

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: probably waking up anyway at the time when people are going.

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 2: We wake up at the time when you're having these

16
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: wars gathering.

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: Which is why I don't mind getting up early. Because

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: the wool gatherings are so negative and really hard, and

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: there's a reason our brains do it, and it might

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: help your brain to relax if you know why you're

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: doing it.

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: Good.

23
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: I like this during the night. You're a Magdala. It's

24
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: a nice girl's name. You're a magdala, which is associated

25
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: with your ftal flight, your fear reactions remains activated. This

26
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: is our primitive brain. So when you slept in the cave,

27
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: when you had to have that part of your brain

28
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: constantly aware, the prefrontal cortex associated with reasoning, logic, and

29
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: problem solving is deactivated at night, So that's the bit

30
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: that's resting, but part of your primitive brain is still

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: switched on in case there's danger. So what happens is

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: that with all the problems that crowd in, you try

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: and you have no way to solve them because your

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: reasoning isn't switched on. It's your brain's biology, and you're

35
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: trying to fight the biology by trying to solve the problems.

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: So what they say is to get a good night's

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: sleep is kind of to tell yourself relax. You don't

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: have the tools that are going to help you right now.

39
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: We'll deal with it tomorrow. So we have in the

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: middle of the night when you have all these anxieties

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: rush in, you don't have any of the things that

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: can help you do it. You have no social connections,

43
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: no none of the stuff around you that helps you,

44
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: none of your camaraderie with your friends. You can't get up,

45
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: make a cup of tea, have a piece of toast.

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: The stuff that kickstarts your day and kickstarts the rest

47
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: of your brain. None of that's available to you in

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: those early hours of the morning. So all those dark

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: thoughts crowded in and you've got no way of solving them.

50
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: So what they say is relax, know that, and know

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: that when you wake up in the morning you'll feel differently.

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: I can solve this, you can reset, I can solve

53
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: this by making a phone call. I can solve this

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: by dealing with it, by paying the bill. I can

55
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: do whatever needs to be done, or I can seek

56
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: help for it. But in those early hours of the morning,

57
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: none of that reasoning is available to you. Interesting, isn't it.

58
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: I like that. That's good.

59
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: So if it's happening to you, relax, deep breath, try

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: and go back to sleep, and say, I'm going to

61
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: put all those thoughts in a brown paper bag in

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: your head and think I'll deal with them tomorrow, because

63
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: when you get to deal with them the next day,

64
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: they're not as big as they see.

65
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: Know that you wake up in the morning in a

66
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: manner will have the cruise report for you.

67
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: That's all you need to know. There's one that's the

68
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: same one,
