Are you on that sleep merry-go round?

Here are a few tips:-

💤 1. Have a regular sleep schedule.
Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends if you can. This trains your body’s internal clock to expect sleep at a certain time.

🌙 2. Create a calming bedtime routine.
Wind down for at least 30–60 minutes before bed. Try reading (nothing too violent or dark!), gentle stretches, a relaxing bath, deep breathing, or listening to calm music - avoid screens and stimulating content.

📵 3. Limit screen time before bed
Blue light from phones, TVs, and computers suppresses melatonin (your sleep hormone). Aim to turn off devices at least an hour before sleep.

☕ 4. Be mindful of your caffeine/alcohol intake.
Caffeine can stay in your system for up to 8 hours. Avoid coffee, tea, and energy drinks after mid-afternoon. Alcohol might make you sleepy at first, but it disrupts your sleep cycle later in the night.

🛏️ 5. Use your bed only for sleep (and intimacy).
If you can’t sleep after 20 minutes, get up and do something relaxing (like reading) in dim light. Go back to bed only when you feel sleepy. This helps your brain associate the bed with rest, not frustration.

🌿 6. Try relaxation techniques.
Practice deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, EFT tapping, or guided meditation to reduce anxiety and calm your nervous system before sleep. Or listen to my sleep audio on YouTube:- https://youtu.be/doDCWouN2oA?si=kOvNntECGUN_BUvr

🌡️ 7. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
Your body sleeps best in a cool environment (around 18°C / 65°F). Blackout curtains, or an eye mask can make a big difference.

🧘 8. Manage stress and worry before bed.
If your mind races at night, set aside “worry time” earlier in the evening to jot down thoughts or to-do's.

🌤️ 9. Get daylight exposure and move daily.
Morning sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm. Light exercise (like walking or yoga) also improves sleep quality - but avoid intense workouts close to bedtime.

🕯️ 10. Consider natural sleep supports.
Herbal teas (like chamomile or valerian), magnesium, or lavender essential oil can gently promote relaxation. If insomnia persists, hypnotherapy can also help re-train your mind for rest and relaxation.

"Hi Clare, I think you might be a magician!! Just got off of the Spain flight, took off in 40mph winds, seat belts on most of the way (although little turbulence) and cool as a cucumber! Thank you xx"

It gives me so much joy to be able to help my clients have freedom from their fears/phobias like the client above. Maybe you know someone I can help? Feel free to share this with them.
