Sleep is a topic that affects every one of us, from children to parents. You may believe you slept well last night, but do you really understand the architecture of your sleep? Do you know what your body is doing while you're sleeping? It's not just about getting some rest and waking up feeling somewhat rested. We need to examine our sleep habits more closely. For example, what is your oxygen saturation level when you are sleeping? Are you getting the restorative rest your body needs, or are you just skimming the surface? Many people wake up feeling tired and reaching for coffee or energy drinks just to get their brain to function. However, there's a better way.... We need to shift our perspective on sleep, and examine it not just subjectively, but objectively as well. This means diving into the details of our sleep patterns and understanding what is happening beneath the surface. Let's make a change, starting tonight. Let's commit to optimising our sleep, not just for quantity, but for quality as well. When we unlock the full potential of our sleep, we unlock the full potential of ourselves. That's a game-changer. #sleep #biohacking #longevity #wellness

Whilst this isn't the prettiest of pictures it does contain the most important element of sleep. ✔ Light is your natural alarm clock It sets your sleep/wake drive so it's important to get as much of it as soon as you can when you wake. ☀ Get 10-30 minutes natural sunlight first thing, an hour or so over the morning, and it will set your sleep/wake drive and prep you for sleep that evening. If you can't because - life - then get the lights on in your house asap and maybe invest in a SAD lamp for a potential extra boost (this is what I do if I can't get out) Light is nature's way of telling your body to wake up and get going. A lack of light is also nature's way of telling your body it should prepare for sleep. 🌜 So, conversely, dim those lights in the evening, and sleep in a dark room for better quality. Do you do this?

Day 19 of the Self-Care Alphabet: S for Sleep 😴 Do you get enough sleep? If not, are you doing anything about it?🤔 Do you constantly wake up at 4am, mind racing with worries?

Today is World Sleep Day. A day in the year when we can at least stop and ask: do I get enough sleep? It’s a basic physiological need, yet how many of us cut short our sleep to ‘get things done’? Wake up that hour earlier to write… or get some focused work done before the distractions of the day set in? Stay up that hour later to finish off a proposal, deal with the emails, or anything else that you didn’t have a chance to finish during the day? With iso many demands on your time and energy, how else can you cope? Longer working days are a fact of life for many #womenleaders. And that means your sleep gets compromised — not just because you do less of it. If your head hits the pillow and your mind is still buzzing, you sleep less deeply and wake still feeling tired rather than refreshed. There are other, healthier ways of dealing with the ‘lack of time’ you often feel. Without compromising on your sleep. Why not join us on Thursday to find out how? https://buff.ly/3URsCP8 "
