LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam Episode #132: Alcohol & Blue Light: How to Reset and Optimize Sleep & Performance
My guest this week is James Swanwick, Founder and CEO of Swanwick Sleep and Alcohol Free Lifestyle.
In this episode, we discuss the key tools James has implemented into his life and high performance clients to optimize sleep, productivity, and overall well being–starting with alcohol and blue light. Do you struggle with mental clarity, energy, motivation, or general mood irregularities? Confused about the effects of blue light or when to reduce blue light exposure? Could alcohol be inhibiting your sleep, energy, or success potential?
As this episode airs, it is a great time to do a mental and/or physical reset, and the tips James shares will get you there faster! Many of us also look to various forms of detox in January, so whether it's detoxing from alcohol, sugar, social media, or any habit you want to nix, we discuss practical, achievable strategies that can be applied to any area of your life that you want to improve. Plus, we talk about navigating social pressures when trying to be healthier, stylish Swannies and product line; best night lights, healthier light bulbs, and how to use your devices without compromising sleep onset or quality.
