The TRUTH About Sleep, Breathwork and Meditation
In this episode of Mindful Paths, Nick and Hari dive deep into the sleep and recovery conversation that has taken over modern wellness. From early nights and winter rhythms to smart mattresses, mouth taping, red light therapy, and sleep trackers, they explore why rest has become both a personal struggle and a booming industry.
Are you building simple habits that genuinely help you sleep, or getting pulled into optimisation culture and expensive gadgets? Is your bedroom a place of recovery or slowly becoming a biohacking lab filled with trackers, lights, and data?
Using their own routines, missteps, and real sleep challenges, Nick and Hari unpack what actually improves rest. They talk about caffeine timing, blue light, breathing, sound therapy, consistent wake times, and why the fundamentals still outperform most trends. They also explore the rising popularity of breathwork, the shift from meditation to stimulation, and why frequency and sound healing may be the next major wave in wellbeing.
Along the way, they discuss the difference between helpful structure and obsessive tracking, how to work with your circadian rhythm, and why not all wellness tools need to be bought. You will hear practical takeaways on grounding, light exposure, recovery basics, and how to rethink rest in a world that turns simple practices into products.
Whether you are struggling with insomnia, curious about sleep science, or trying to build healthier evening routines, this episode will help you understand what really supports your mind and body during the darker months and beyond.
