When was the last time you had a restful night's sleep? If you find yourself yawning during the day or feeling irritable or outright fatigued, there's a good chance that you're not getting good quality sleep—and sleep hygiene may be playing a role.

Good sleep hygiene not only provides you with a good night's rest, but has plenty of other benefits to your health, both physical and mental. So how can we improve our sleep hygiene and start sleeping like logs?

Join Eriana Buteau, OTD, as she discusses the importance of sleep, provides ways to determine what you need for your own sleep hygiene, and answers questions on how to put the “good” back in "good night."

Sleep is as essential to our health as eating, drinking, and breathing. Though many of us are sleep-deprived, those of us with mental health conditions are more likely to feel the impact of less sleep—and sleep problems tend to affect upwards of 80% of patients in psychiatric practices.

How can we treat sleep disorders and mental health conditions? Are there ways to improve our quality of life through a good night's sleep? And what can science show us about how our mental health is affected by how we're sleeping?

Join us as John Winkelman, MD, PhD, explains the relationship between sleep disorders and our brains, provides a look into the impact of our sleep cycles, and answers audience questions about sleep and mental health.

Self-hatred, or self-loathing, is a common and painful experience for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and related disorders. However, none of the major treatments specifically target this symptom. Treating severe, chronic self-loathing can be challenging for the clinician and disheartening for the patient, as standard approaches are often ineffective.

Join us as Dr. Blaise Aguirre looks at the nature and presentation of self-loathing, considers its development in people living with BPD and related conditions, reviews the literature on the topic, and suggests some approaches to consider in tackling the experience of self-hatred.

So many of us want to be the people who leap out of bed and start the day with a giant smile and a genuine joy for what their day holds. The weight of our responsibilities and stressors may make this unbridled happiness seem like a difficult feat—or one that we have to "fake it 'til we make it."

Add in unexpected curveballs—like a pandemic—and this kind of happiness may feel like an impossibility.

While it may seem hard to imagine, we can learn to enjoy the little things, accept the plot twists in life, boost our moods, and stop self-sabotaging behaviors.

Join us as Lisa W. Coyne, PhD, shares insights about positive psychology, provides tools and tips from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to better handle unexpected stressors, and answers audience questions about how we can be happier, one day at a time.
