Episode 27 - How to sleep well

Listen Later

One of my listeners questiosn this week was about sleep.  So here is my podcast on the things I have gleaned and learnt over my time having sleep issues and working with clients who also struggle in this area.  

  1. Increase bright light exposure during the day
  • Reduce blue light exposure – like phones and computers – 2 hours before bed
  • Reduce caffeine at midday -  And if you’re taking a caffeine supplement, don’t take it within 13 hours of bedtime.
  • Reduce foods that keep you awake at night – refined carbs, anything with caffeine,  fatty foods,  ultra processed foods,   
  • Get rid of irregular or long daytime naps
  • Sleep and wake at a consistent time
  • Take a melatonin supplement
  • Other supplements to try include magnesium, nitrate,  omega 3, resveratrol,   
  • Don’t drink alcohol
  • Get comfy bed, mattress and pillow. 
  • Consider noise, temperature and ventilation. 
  • Don’t eat late in the evening
  • Don’t drink lots of liquids before bed
  • Relax and clear your mind
  • Rule out a sleep disorder
  • Exercise regularly but not before bed
