KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is a big difference between sleep apnoea and snoring. Snoring is a result of the body and its muscles relaxing whilst sleep apnoea is when you repeatedly stop and start breathing during your sleep.
- Ideal sleep architecture is Initial deep sleep in 90-minute cycles moving towards REM sleep later in the pattern.
- How well you sleep at night starts with the routine of the morning before. When you wake you should get outside and look at the blue of the sky. During a sunrise, there is a high amount of infrared and you will benefit from the full spectrum if you are able to watch this.
- When we are sleeping the body is resting, rejuvenating and you need to give it the resources to do this. You need to have the right amount of sleep and the right quality. The 2 things that regulate our sleep the most are temperature and light.
- Earthing - As we go about the day we build up a positive charge in static electricity and we need to get rid of this because a build-up over time can cause inflammation and disease.
- The digital world means more EMF so it’s important to find ways to mitigate the effects and 20 minutes grounding each day with as much skin exposure is a good way to achieve this.
- There are 3 pillars of health movement, nutrition and sleep and if you can get these 3 in sync the chances of developing any chronic disease is decreased.
