Did you know that your bedtime routine could be the key to tackling mental health challenges? This episode is a wake-up call to the internal battles many of us are facing, such as anxiety, insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless legs syndrome that are depriving us of a peaceful night's sleep. We take you through the winding path of better sleep hygiene - from unplugging from technology to the indulgence of a warm bath or a calming cup of tea. We also shed light on the overlooked consequences of sleep deprivation, including muscle spasms, irritability, and memory issues that make an unwelcome contribution to mental health problems.

Swinging the pendulum, we then plunge into the torrent of technology's role in our mental health. Are your gadgets and digital platforms causing you more anxiety and overwhelm than convenience? The key lies in achieving a harmonious balance between our online lives and our mental well-being. We equip you with practical strategies for managing technology use and crafting self-care habits for heightened mental health. We promise to guide you through these intricate concerns, offering the insights and tips you need to thrive in a world saturated with screens and sleeplessness. Get ready to embark on this enlightening journey with us.
