Sleep is the longest time we give ourselves to switch off, rest and repair however this dreamy period of rest doesn’t always go to plan especially when your body is holding on to elements of stress from your day. This is when your thoughts disturb your sleep and the time your body gets in maintenance mode. Sleep wellness is having a moment and I’m all for it. Here I share healthy habits for better sleep and restoration.

If you want to change how you are feeling; your emotions or the stress cycle you are experiencing whether in trying to fall asleep at night or at any other time of the day you need to change your physiology. The best and simplest way you can do this is by altering how you are breathing because your breath has a direct impact on your nervous system, they are linked.

Two of the most important things you can do to help yourself create and stick to your intentions and new habits are to reduce your stress levels and get good quality sleep. For some of you, me included this is going to pose a problem because getting a good night’s sleep consistently and feeling less stressed day to day are two of the biggest challenges you might be faced with right now.

Why are we suddenly so bad at sleeping?

I love to sleep and I love the fact I get to do it for 7-9 hours a night I just wish I could manage it more than a few times a week, I’ve become absolutely rubbish at sleeping through the night!
