Engaging in movement and expressive activities during DMT sessions can help reduce stress and tension, promoting a more relaxed state conducive to sleep. Addressing and releasing emotions may contribute to a more stable and regulated emotional state, positively influencing sleep. Additionally, movement therapy often involves gentle and mindful movements that can promote physical relaxation, potentially easing any physical discomfort that may interfere with sleep.
