What actually helps with better sleep?
Most people are told to fix their sleep by adjusting their bedtime routine.
But if your body is out of rhythm, stressed, or undernourished… it is not just about what happens at night.
Here are six things I often suggest to clients when we are working to improve sleep naturally:
- Keep a consistent sleep and wake time – even on weekends. This helps reset your internal clock.
- Support blood sugar balance – eat protein and healthy fats with dinner. Avoid eating too close to bedtime.
- Create a wind down buffer – dim the lights, turn off devices, do something calming before bed.
- Reduce daily overwhelm – even short breaks during the day can help calm your nervous system at night.
- Minimise noise and light – use blackout curtains or an eye mask, and keep the bedroom cool and quiet.
- Ditch the all or nothing mindset – sleep improves over time with small, steady changes.
It is not about being perfect. It is about supporting your body so it knows it is safe to rest.
Are you already doing these things and still having trouble with sleep? If you need more support, we can work on sleep together. Booking link in bio.
