Sleep & Pain: Foundations for Better Rest

Living with persistent pain or fatigue can make sleep difficult, and poor sleep can in turn worsen pain and exhaustion. In this group session, you’ll learn how sleep and pain are connected and explore practical, evidence-based strategies to support better rest.

We discuss how sleep influences the nervous system and the body’s pain signals, and how disrupted sleep can increase pain sensitivity and fatigue. Understanding this connection can help guide strategies that support both sleep and pain management.

The focus is on simple, realistic changes such as routines, timing, and daily habits that can support improved rest and nervous system regulation over time, without aiming for perfect sleep.

This session highlights practical tools you can begin using right away to support sleep, reduce symptom flare-ups, and improve daytime function.

This session is open to anyone living with persistent pain who wants to better understand their sleep and explore supportive approaches to rest and recovery.

This session is led by Jennifer Lei (occupational therapist) & Dr. Noah Alexander.
