Day 3 - A Good Night's Sleep Makes All The Difference

Did you know the healthiest people are the ones most likely to be getting good sleep?

Here are some great pointers to review and improve your sleep habits:

1. Wind down gently in the evening and try not to have too much screen time right before bed. A bath or a good book are great winding down techniques.

2. Your bedroom is your sanctuary. Keep electronic equipment out of the bedroom. That includes TV's, computers, iPads and mobile phones - all of these interfere with our natural sleep rhythms.

3. Darkness is crucial for releasing the right sleep hormones. Try investing in blackout curtains.

4. Sleep in a cool room. An overheated body is a restless one.

5. Avoid eating big heavy meals late into the evening to give your digestive system a rest at night. Similarly, don't go to bed hungry as low blood sugar levels will cause poor sleep.

Poor sleep is one of the first signs of the body manifesting unwellness and is not to be ignored. 


If you feel your sleep is not as good as it could be then some simple dietary adjustments and naturopathic techniques could make a world of difference. Here are the details of how you can work with me:
