Your sleep is so closely linked to your stress and anxiety levels, please try and prioritise your sleep. We all get caught up in the work/life cycle, so much to do, so little time and sleep is the first thing to suffer. Without proper sleep we cannot possibly perform at our best at home, at work or in our pastimes. There are so many little changes you can make to improve sleep hygiene, however, one tip I always find helps is to plan time away from screens. I understand the irony of putting this on social media, however, really focus on giving yourself some time away from screens for the last hour before you want to settle down, just disconnect (in every way) from the outside world, social media, the news, TV and just have that last hour of the day relaxing, focussing on the positives from the day, your little ‘wins’ and things you’re looking forward to later that week, month or year. #stressawareness What works for you?

Stress, poor sleep habits, and underlying health conditions can all contribute to these problems. That's why I encourage my clients to prioritize their sleep and develop healthy sleep habits. Simple practices like establishing a regular sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and creating a comfortable sleep environment can make a big difference.

We’ve all heard that sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of poor sleep can have a big impact on our lives. Sleep deprivation can lead to an inability to control your emotions, poor focus, poor concentration, and a depressed immune system, and many common coping strategies for dealing with poor sleep (like more caffeine) can worsen the problem over time. The recommended amount of sleep for adults is 7-9 hours per night, but almost 20% of adults don’t hit that benchmark regularly. While there can be lots of reasons for not getting enough sleep, some of them are under your control, such as: 🔹 Having a consistent sleep or wake time 🔹 Not consuming large meals, alcohol, nicotine, or caffeine right before bed 🔹 Staying off phones and other devices at least an hour before bed If you’re struggling with poor sleep, start with creating a good bedtime routine. We all deserve to feel our best, and good sleep is an important part of that. #sleep #sleephygiene #bedtimeroutine
