sleep well
You have reached this page because you are looking to improve your sleep! I sleep like a baby and no matter what is going off in my life it is very rare that I struggle to sleep. This is because I made changes to my behaviour and lifestyle. I truly was the worst sleeper!
When we talk about difficulty with sleeping this is when it goes on for more than 1 or 2 nights. Sleep consultants define insomnia as the difficulty of falling asleep or, of remaining asleep.
People with insomnia will tell you that it can be a struggle to fall asleep and if they manage it, they wake up frequently. As a result, it begins to have an impact on their health and well-being. They begin to suffer with tiredness, irritability, low energy levels, fluctuating moods and reduction in concentration levels.
Well hope is not lost because with some lifestyle and behaviour changes a good sleep consultant will help you work through these issues, so they become a thing of your past! I won’t lie though some clients don’t look happy when I ask them to not use technology for 1 hour before bed but what is more important? Reading Facebook or getting a good night’s sleep?! After all, you can catch up on social media in the morning when you feel refreshed. My phone is not attached to me and friends laugh when it rings that much I put it in the fridge to cool down! I even go for meals out without it but I know that for a lot of people they feel a connection with their phone for various reasons and some need them for emergencies like children and parents.
I won’t go too much into everything on this page as everyone’s reason for not being able to sleep are different. That is why I have to evaluate your sleeping and lifestyle behaviour before we even go into a session.
What I will do on this page though is help you create a good sleeping environment but my job as a sleep consultant is to go into everything to help you get that sleep your body deserves in order for it to function optimally whilst using many techniques to help us achieve this.
But for now, let us create that sleeping environment to help you on your way.
- Ensure your bed is comfortable! If you wake up stiff, grumpy, numb or tired then this may be an indicator that it is time to invest in a new mattress or pillows.
- Keep your bedroom cool and dark and make sure you are using the correct tog for the time of year.
- Make your bedroom as dark as possible. Investing in black out curtains is a good idea if you have the lights coming in from the street and turn off the lamp/night lights. Your phones also light up so if you really cannot bear the thought of it being out of the room whilst you are sleeping then turn it upside down.
- Ensure your bedroom is a quiet and calm place. Noise is a big sleep thief!
- ove your bedroom. The colour of your bedroom can impact the amount of sleep you get. A recent study showed the best colours for a bedroom to get a good night’s sleep were blue, yellow and green. At the other end of the spectrum popular colours such as purple, brown and greys can ruin the amount of sleep you get. Purple stimulates the mind whilst browns and greys were associated with dreariness and depression.
- DO NOT use your bedroom for anything other than sleep and romance. Take out the TV, do not work or study in your bedroom. Make your bedroom a bedroom!
- Avoid napping or lying in to catch up sleep.
- Keep your bedroom tidy and clutter free
- Move everything electronic at least 4 feet away from your head including phone charges and make sure your alarm clock (if you still have one) isn’t glaring its light at you or in a way that you can clock watch. The more you look at the clock the more you can worry about how much time you have left before you have to wake up.
The benefits to getting a good night’s sleep are;
Increased energy levels
Increase in mental clarity, memory, brain function and problem-solving capabilities
Start the day feeling positive and energised
Reduced stress and illness
Increase resilience to pressure
Eyes and skin have a healthy glow
Slows down the ageing process
Helps your body cells repair
Helps you to control your weight
Keeps you happy and motivated
As already said, I use many techniques to help you achieve that good night’s sleep but before your first session I ask that the form below is emailed across for me to analyse.
If you think your sleep is impacting your health, then now really is the time to make those changes!
