Things you can do to support your sleep...

Taking the pressure off is the very first step. If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know that I speak a lot about acceptance - accepting where you are now and the limitations of your sleep at the moment can be a powerful first step to improving your relationship with sleep.

Secondly, allow yourself to look a little deeper:
Do you feel safe?
Do you feel lonely?
Do you have difficulty separating from work?
Did you have any me time today?

All of these things are great places to start assessing your relationship with sleep and can be impactful when guided by a professional. As a sleep therapist, I work with clients on transformations like this every day and love to see the changes and improvements unfold for them.

If you’re ready to know more about working with a sleep therapist like me, you can book a discovery call to find out more and ask your questions - with no obligations or pressure to commit.

Hi! I’m Dr Kat - here’s how I help women to feel good!
🩷

As some of you may already know, I’m a sleep scientist and body clock expert.

This means that I truly and deeply understand how the body works when it comes to sleep and more specifically, women’s sleep. Why is this important you might ask... Because women sleep differently.

I practice as a Sleep Therapist and am endlessly passionate about helping women sleep well and feel good. 🩵💙

💤 Sleep is a cornerstone of our health, so while I believe in a gentle approach to making changes and working towards your sleep goals, it is an important part of the healthy lifestyle puzzle.

💭💬 If you have questions I’d love to hear them or specific sleep concerns you’d like to hear more about on here, just drop them in the comments - or if you want to know more about working with me 1-1, I’ll happily have a chat in the DMs or via a discovery call - no strings attached, no obligations.

Stop scrolling, you’ve found it - your gentle but effective approach to nurturing your sleep and your health. 💙🩵

My key recommendations when approaching your sleep are:

💤 Acceptance - that sleep is not coming right now, that you are where you are and that your body is responding how it is responding.

💤 Me time - time that is just for you, and helps you to access the calm we’re looking for when trying to sleep - and in a realistic way too - not all “me time” looks like a 2-hour bath (although that would be ok too!)

💤 1 step at a time - following on from point one, working towards better sleep is a process - you can put plenty of support in place to help get you closer to that - but don’t put pressure on yourself in that process.

Make sure you’re following me to see more, and save this post for when you need that reminder. 💾

There’s still plenty of summer left....
How can you start to embrace this as the summer you started to support your sleep for better overall health?

I’ve got a few pointers...

😴📱Less screen time
It’s a tricky one, but it’s a big one - can you give yourself a cut-off point in the evening, or better still, the afternoon?

😴🚶Moving throughout the day
Movement helps out our circadian rhythm by ensuring it knows we’re fully awake and alert. It also tires us out more so that when we come to sleep, our mind and body are tired and ready for sleep.

😴🛏️Take a good look at your bedroom.
The environment we sleep in matters - it doesn’t need to be immaculate or polished by an interior designer, BUT - it ideally should be somewhere where you can truly switch off - without piles of washing in the corner, TVs or Laptops in sight, comfortable and welcoming.

😴☕️Limit your caffeine
This might sound like an obvious one but even if you think you can handle caffeine well, having it in your system later in the day can heavily impact your sleep. You absolutely should consider this one if you’re someone who has difficulty switching off at night.

Did you catch me on BBC’s The One Show this week? Sleeping in the warmer, lighter months can be difficult - but there’s plenty we can do to help ourselves. 🩵

No matter what you struggle with, there are many habits and behaviours you can introduce to help you sleep well and feel good.

How’s your sleep?

How are you managing to sleep in the warm weather?

We’ve had some pretty warm recently, and the summer months continue 🩵

While this is lovely for many reasons and I am in no manner wishing it away, it can play havoc with our sleep!

If you’re someone who struggles with their sleep anyway, this can be incredibly frustrating and even debilitating.

Let’s not underestimate the impact that poor sleep can have on our wellbeing and day-to-day.

💤💤 Here are a few little tips to help you get your quality hours of sleep, despite the heat.

Can you give yourself extra wind-down time? Moving around a lot makes us warmer, so if you can give yourself a slower, more gentle journey to bed.

Think about materials - can you switch up your bedding and PJs? Think natural fibres - light cotton or linen.

Can you regulate the room temperature during the day? Perhaps keeping it shaded and ventilated.

Avoid alcohol and spicy food in the evening, these can both disrupt your body’s temperature regulation.

Gentle breathwork to calm the nervous system - could you add this into your evening routine or try a little as you relax in bed?

Plus, remember that it’s not your fault and that it will pass - our psychological responses can be very impactful on our experiences with sleep, so try to approach your sleep struggles with acceptance and curiosity rather than frustration or despair.

One thing I often speak about in relation to sleep is emotional safety - that sense of feeling supported, grounded, and connected. And during the warmer months, that can become more accessible ☀️

Lighter evenings open up social plans and our drive to be outside and active - the opposite of our winter inclination to hibernate.

Whether it’s a walk with a friend, dinner outside, or simply more daylight, these moments can help your and, importantly, your nervous system, feel safe, and that directly supports sleep. 💤

You might notice:
✨ Falling asleep more easily
✨ A comforting sense of increased tiredness at bedtime
✨ Less rumination at night
✨ A lighter or more balanced mood
✨ A greater sense of calm in your body

While we often focus on what’s making sleep hard, let’s also notice what’s making it easier.
Are you feeling more connected lately? And is it helping you rest? I’d love to hear your experiences. Drop it in the comments or DM me 🧡

Last month, I was honoured to have been invited to speak at the R3 London and South East Ladies Summer Lunch. 💫✨

I shared the day with over 200 amazing women from the insolvency and restructuring sector in attendance asking lots of questions about my favourite topic - sleep. 😴 💤 It was an absolute joy to be able to share that topic with this wonderful group.

I have said it many times: our bodies aren’t machines, they are biological systems, an organism.

Firstly, the clocks will go forward on Sunday 30th March at 1am.

When it comes to the clock change all I want to say is that our bodies aren't alarm clocks. The forward clock change in March jolts our internal systems, with consequences we're only beginning to understand but we nevertheless feel and experience them in our bodies and which can lead to injury in different guises … mental and physical health problems, road accidents, tiredness, and sleep problems.

Do not be alarmed by this. By looking after the basics of our sleep, we can support our bodies through this jolt, this change for minimal impact.

These are the basics of healthy sleep:
Movement
Light exposure
Me time
Acceptance

You'll find more about each of these approaches on my profile. Take a look, your sleep will thank you.

Want to know how to improve your sleep? I’m a sleep therapist and these are the questions every insomniac needs to ask themselves...

Start by asking yourself why sleeping well matters to you, what is your well-rested self able to do that you enjoy. Then find out what your personal sleep needs are.

Once you have answered these questions you will have connected to your motivation and you will have established clear goals of where you want to get to with your sleep and wellbeing.

This is what a lack of sleep does to your health and wellbeing.

Most importantly though, find out what you can do to look after your sleep; find my tips for doing just that in the article, linked in my bio.

The trouble with this ‘magical’ time of year...

🎄Bare with me!

Christmas is a ‘special’ time, it is heavily marketed to us as such, but it brings with it plenty of ‘others’ for many of us.
It can be a challenging time emotionally, financially and physically due to cold weather and darker days.

The cost of living crisis only exacerbates those Christmas concerns further for most of us.

To be able to look after yourself and others, you need to have the energy and focus to do this.

✨Let good quality sleep be the gift you give yourself and others this year. ✨

Be kind to yourself during what can, in reality, be quite a stressful time of year.
