Get Better Sleep Before and After Plastic Surgery with Guided Meditation
I am a MMI Certified Meditation Teacher and a lymphatic massage therapist. My clients experience anxiety and sleeplessness before their plastic surgery because they are worried about their upcoming procedure. I provide them with a free guided body scan meditation to help them sleep.
Hubbling et al. (2014) found that in subjects with chronic insomnia, "the body scan was identified as an effective tool to enable falling asleep faster" and "eliminate the “chatter” or mind-racing that previously impeded falling asleep at night."
Why is this important? Su & Wang (2018) state that “sleep disturbances frequently occur in patients after surgery, and its occurrence is harmful for postoperative recovery” and that “development of sleep disturbances produces harmful effects on postoperative patients ... increased sensitivity to pain ... and poorer recovery.”
