We are in an energy crisis. So many of us report feeling fatigued or exhausted well before we actually should be and a lot of that comes down to poor utilisation of sleep.
If you use the right strategies, your sleep should be giving you the right recovery and energy you need to perform throughout the day. But without it you could very well end up in a self perpetuating cycle that reinforces bad sleep.
In this episode I’m providing the strategies and tools you need to take the first step in reclaiming a strong sleep cycle.
In this episode I share:
- The 3 key archetypes and what it means for your right next step
- Why ‘just sleep more’ is not the solution to better sleep recovery
- The 4 main sleep stages
- The importance of wearable technology for tracking sleep
- My recommendations for best wearable tech to use
- The barriers you might encounter to optimise the quality of our sleep
- The strategies for improving sleep and overcoming the barrier that might prevent it
- The 4 different ‘chronotypes and what your chronotype means about your sleep patterns
- The importance of getting outside right after waking up
- What you should be considering about how you eat in the later half of the day
- How many hours before sleep we should be having dinner
- Why a night routine is more important than a morning routine
- My recommendations for a night time routine
- My recommendations for supplements to help the nutrition support for your sleep
Key Quotes
“The reality is feeling better is about pulling the right levers.”
“Often a lot of high performers report they think they sleep well, but at the end of our coaching program, they report that they are currently sleeping better than they were.”
“We’ve all heard that we need to get 7-9 hours of sleep a night and for a lot of us that may not be possible.”
“What happens across the night is we toggle across these different stages, we don’t go from one to the next.”
