Could the Cognitive Shuffle Help You Fall Asleep?

Having trouble quieting a busy mind at bedtime? As we head into fall, the counsellors at Gather Clinical Counselling in Victoria are preparing for our upcoming Drift: Reset Your Sleep group. One of the practical techniques we teach is the Cognitive Shuffle - a simple, surprisingly playful way to give your mind something different to focus on as you settle toward sleep. In this post, we explore where the technique came from, why it may help, and how you can try it yourself tonight.
