In this brief self‑help video, Caroline Cavanagh likens anxiety to two large dogs that sleep in the kitchen. Just as she would not bring the dogs into her bedroom because they would keep her awake, she argues that many people bring their anxiety into the bedroom, which disrupts sleep. She advises listeners to leave anxiety outside the bedroom, emphasizing that once you are safely in bed, you don’t need the anxiety and can allow yourself to rest.

Chapters

I've got 2 fairly big dogs and they sleep in the kitchen. I wouldn't take my dogs to bed because they would keep me awake. And there's a lot of similarities between dogs and anxiety. A lot of the people I work with, they take their anxiety to bed and much like my 2 canines, it keeps them awake. Leave your anxiety outside of the bedroom, because once you're safe asleep in bed, you don't need it anyway.
