This chapter provides tips and techniques for better sleep, including strategies for falling asleep and optimizing sleep quality. It discusses various activities to promote relaxation, the importance of light for regulating circadian rhythm, exercises for waking up refreshed, optimal napping duration and timing, wind down routines, and the impact of body temperature on sleep. The chapter also explores the challenges of maintaining healthy sleep patterns, the role of stress and anxiety in sleep difficulties, and options for seeking help for sleep issues.
Do you wake up each morning refreshed and well slept? Or are you the kind of person who tosses and turns for ages before falling asleep, ruminating on all of your missteps and stresses from the day?
If you chose option two, this episode is for you. We get advice on making nighttime more restful — beyond the standard 'don't look at your phone before bed.' (Though that's important too).
