Swifter to Sleep Challenge
7 days may not be enough to change your entire energy management balance and sleep/wake cycle, but it’s enough to dial in a critical part of your wind down routine and feel like,
I can do this. This wasn’t as hard as I thought. I learned so much.
If you don’t have this part of your sleep routine on lock, you’re not even giving yourself a fair shot.
I talk to CRPS patients every day who struggle with the frustration and anxiety around trying to fall asleep at night with pain. I felt obligated to create this because too many of us are stuck in a viscous cycle, unable to downregulate enough to fall asleep.
Yes, what you do during the day has the biggest overall impact on what happens at night, but the wind down routine once in bed is an integral part to master to more easily trigger the shut down to begin.
It’s not just about decreasing pain, but learning how to stay calm through it.

Features of the Challenge
Instant Implementation
Practice your wind down routine in bed and get consistent with it in 7 days. Habits normally take a long time to develop and get comfortable with, but that’s when you’re doing it alone. Here you will be in a group with mentors & peers alike!
Accountability & Feedback
What’s the challenge? To get consistent with this piece of your wind down routine & execute it. Once you’re in bed with the lights off, did you’ll practice diaphragmatic breathing & mindfulness. Yes or no & how did it go. It’s simple.
Education & Resources
Live presentations, posts and information put together for participants only including posts on different techniques & strategies, what to measure, why does it matters and what the CRPS specific application is etc.
Community
Private Faceboook group with accountability and support from fellow warriors going through this same struggle also wanting to establish habits that help! With special guest coach & warrior of the Month, Matt Brown.
How does it work?
Dates:
The challenge is 7 days. We start Monday, February 20th and go through Sunday, February 26th, 2023...where?
Details:
There will be a private Facebook group for members only.
This is where you'll check in daily on a thread saying if you completed the two things we're tracking (20 mins of mindfulness & diaphragmatic breathing in bed), and how it went e.g.
Did it decrease the time it took to fall asleep or the anxiety around it? Did you feel more calm or less pain? How did it affect your emotions towards sleep?
This is also where I'll be dropping small, digestible education and resources throughout the week so you get the accompanying education pieces on breathing and mindfulness to go along with the practice, support and accountability.
Those who complete the challenge successfully by checking in daily in the Facebook group 5 out of 7 days having completed those two habits in bed will be entered into a raffle to win one of three awesome prizes!
