If you’re not sleeping well, chances are you’ve already tried the basics - less caffeine, fewer screens, maybe even a magnesium supplement or two. But what if the problem isn’t your bedtime routine… but something deeper you haven’t yet spotted?

In this episode, we walk through a 7-step self-audit to help you figure out what’s really going wrong with your sleep - and why. You’ll learn how to:

* Identify your true sleep pattern (is it falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up exhausted?)

* Spot lifestyle, hormonal, or emotional factors that might be at play

* Rule out the usual suspects - from light and noise to caffeine and wine

* Recognise medical red flags that signal it’s time to speak to a doctor

* Pull together a simple, personalised “sleep hypothesis” to guide your next steps

This isn’t just another sleep hygiene checklist. It’s a structured, evidence-backed process that helps you stop guessing - and start seeing the patterns in your own nights.

Whether you’re lying awake at 3 a.m. or waking up foggy after a full night’s sleep, this episode will help you understand what’s going on - and where to start making changes.

Perfect for your next walk, commute, or wind-down.
