On October 30, a Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30, WizChinese’s Palo Alto Chinese Parents’ Club (PACPC) held the sixth session of the Mental Health Lecture Series titled “Sleeping” with 48 attendees. Psychologist and sleep specialist Dr. Yishan Xu, founder of Mind & Body Garden Psychology Inc., spoke about ways to improve sleep. She presented about cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and other ways to both identify sleeping problems and address them. Ranging from discussing distressing techniques, meditation practices, reducing simulation, to routine habits after waking up, Xu emphasized the importance of listening to one’s body signals and trusting one’s body and to take care of one’s mental state in relation to sleep.
