In today's fast-paced world, getting a good night's sleep can sometimes feel like an elusive dream. From stress to screen time, many factors can disrupt a healthy sleep-wake cycle. However, there's a natural hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating our sleep patterns - melatonin. Melatonin works in harmony with the body's internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm. This rhythm dictates when we feel awake and when we feel sleepy based on cues such as light and darkness. When the sun sets and darkness falls, the pineal gland releases melatonin into the bloodstream, helping us feel drowsy and ready for bed.

This is what Alcohol is doing tour sleep! 🌙 Alcohol disrupts the delicate balance in our brains, impacting our precious REM sleep. 🧠💤 Glutamate is the main excitatory and GABA the main inhibitory neurotransmitters. These regulate one another to create a natural sleeping pattern, however alcohol affects the balance of these chemicals. Initial deep sleep rebounds in the second half of the night meaning we don't get the deep restorative sleep consistently through the night. This ultimately leads to poorer quality sleep and causes more daytime sleepiness. Remember, you're not alone. Support for you or a loved one is just a message away. Here's to a healthier, more restful sleep! 💙 #SleepScience #AlcoholAndSleep #RecoveryIsPossible

SLEEP COACH: I help people to discover and change the areas that are holding them back from getting great sleep
Sleep your way to better health.... We are essentially the health of our cells and cellular repair takes place while we sleep. This includes everything from skin cells to the cells that make up our muscles - the repair work happens overnight, while we sleep. When our cells are working optimally, we look and feel our best. In order for proper cellular repair to occur, we ought to be getting 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Sadly, most people are not achieving that for a variety of reasons. Sleep deprivation is definitely on the incline and we are paying the price, physically and mentally. The impact of poor sleep affects our health, our longevity, how we feel, how we function and how energised we are each day and it doesn't stop there.

Dear CEO, When was the last time you had at least 7 hours of sleep? During sleep your body repairs itself and regulates the hormones that control your appetite and metabolism. Sleep deprivation has been linked to low mood, low immunity and other health problems. So before you snooze on your sleep time, think again. #healthtipswithDrOlamide #followformoretips

Understanding Light's Impact on Your Sleep: Early morning light suppresses melatonin, the sleep hormone while boosting cortisol, which promotes wakefulness. To optimize your sleep-wake cycle, expose yourself to natural morning sunlight for 5-10 minutes. In contrast, dim your lights in the evening to signal your body to wind down. Harness the power of light for better sleep and a balanced circadian rhythm. 🌞😴 #SleepHealth #CircadianRhythm #NaturalLight #BetterSleep
