Resting Without Guilt: Collaboration with Executive Function Experts at Encompass

Do you feel guilty when you rest?

As a therapist specializing in sleep, I often hear that there's a sense of guilt associated with taking a break. "There's always so I could be doing, I relax just yet." or if one does stop to enjoy a hobby, there's a nagging sense of "I should be working on things." or taking a peek at the email inbox.

Often it’s tempting to work up until the very last minute on a project. Then when sleep doesn’t come, sometimes thoughts like “Why can’t I sleep?” or “Everyone else seems to be sleeping just fine!” creep in.

Jessica and Della, executive function experts at Encompass Tutorial Services share their wisdom about the factors that lead to that guilt with rest and share some strategies that can help.
