This morning I have been speaking to BBC Radio Manchester today about how the lack of sunshine in winter affects our sleep and mood.

Now that the clocks have changed and the days are getting shorter and the evenings longer you might find that you’re not getting as much natural daylight exposure as you were earlier in the year. It’s really important that you seek out sunshine both first thing in the morning and throughout the day to help boost your sleep at night and also your mood.

I spoke to Connor Phillips on BBC Radio Ulster about all things sleep. 💤

A listener asked whether remembering your dreams means you’ve had better sleep.

In fact, we all dream. Everyone experiences light, deep, and REM (dreaming) sleep. You only tend to remember a dream if you wake up during or just after it. So, recalling dreams doesn’t mean your sleep was better or worse than someone who doesn’t remember theirs, it simply means you woke up from within a dream.

Today I spoke with about all things sleep for her Lifestyle Prescription podcast .

As two women juggling the demands of a career and parenting teenagers we had lots to discuss regarding women’s sleep and how to help our children when they may struggle to fall asleep easily at night.

Look out for the podcast to be released in the coming weeks.

This coming weekend is when the clocks go back. It will bring an earlier sunset in the evening so you might find you start going home from work in the dark.

Although the clock change can mean an additional hour’s sleep, for some people, especially those struggling already with their sleep, it can create challenges with the sudden change in timings.

Therefore, here is some advice to help you manage the change more smoothly.

Push your bedtime later in the days leading up to the clock change so that you will end up going to bed an hour later on Saturday night and then when you wake up on Sunday morning at your normal time there will be no discernible change. You won’t gain that hour’s sleep by doing this but you will make sure that your circadian rhythm doesn’t struggle with the shift in time.

if you are usually sleeping fine then you don’t have to go to bed later and you can just enjoy an additional hour in bed where you can hopefully get an additional hour’s sleep.

The retreat has started incredibly well. We have had breathing sessions with which everyone loved, and I delivered a 2 hour sleep education and relaxation for sleep session this morning.

The hotel is breathtaking as it’s wholly dedicated to wellbeing. Even my room doesn’t have a TV!

The retreat group is fantastic as it’s amazing to be with so many people who value and want to improve all aspects of their health and wellbeing. It’s such a privilege to be part of it.

Also, I’m LOVING the cheese which is part of every meal! 🧀🧀🧀

I’ve taken a little time off over the past few weeks as I had an operation and it took a while to recover. 🤕 I’m almost back to 100% and ready to get back to the sleep world.

What has helped (as well as so many thoughtful cards and flowers from friends and family) has been great food. My daughter made me amazing chicken broth with Chinese medicine herbs, and I’ve been loving my home grown produce.

This year has been an incredible success as you can see from today’s harvest. This doesn’t even include the runner beans and cucumbers from my garden or the figs, wild plums and blackberries that we found foraging!!

Although my passion is for helping people improve their sleep, I am well aware that good sleep is only one part of being healthy. I truly prioritise good nutrition and regular exercise too as they are both so important.

I hope that you are enjoying the last of the summer and I will be properly back soon!

It’s summer and that means it’s holiday season as well as the Henley Regatta, summer festivals and hot weather. Check out some photos from my recent holiday to Egypt as well as going to Henley Regatta with family this week!

🎙️ SLEEP AND SPORT with Jonny Brownlee

I had the pleasure of recording a podcast with six-time World champion and Olympic triathlon champion at diving into the science of sleep and its impact on elite performance.

We covered:
🛌 How much sleep athletes really need
⏰ Why your bedtime matters more than you think
🏃‍♂️ How sleep affects recovery and race-day performance
🌡️ What late-night workouts do to your sleep
🏨 And why sleeping in a hotel might affect your performance on race day

Athletes often focus on optimal training and nutrition, but sleep is truly the foundation for great performance.

Comment SPORT and I will DM you a link to the podcast when it’s released!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at the brilliant Education Summit.

The theme was “It takes a village to raise a child” which captured the day perfectly! The whole day was dedicated to supporting young people both emotionally and educationally.

I was honoured to lead two sessions on improving sleep (one for the conference and one with Year 10s), and to sit on the expert panel alongside some inspiring speakers.

A special shoutout to and for their really excellent talks.

One of my sessions clashed with cricket legend 🏏 but I still had a packed room with standing room only at the back! It’s amazing to see how seriously people are taking sleep health.

(My husband still says he’d have picked Kumar over me without hesitation 😂)

This event showed just how committed schools are to supporting student wellbeing as well as academic achievement, and I’m so proud to be a part of that.

The last photo is my lovely room (complete with toy chicken on the bed!) at the which was a stone’s throw from the event.

What a great conference today . It was a huge pleasure to listen to so many experts about what we can do to live a healthier and happier life.

I learned so much today. One thing that made me very happy is that garlic is such a superb food - which is lucky because I LOVE it!!! It especially helps support the gut barrier function and supports the integrity of the gut lining.

Also, how strength training is associated with lower all-cause mortality! When you want to feel energised do 1 minute of squats which will help you feel better immediately and help build strength longer term.

Overall, the biggest takeaways we all agreed on were that there are no “quick fixes” to living a healthier, happier, longer life. Look after your diet (eat a wide variety of all foods), keep moving, wear sunscreen, keep socially connected with people and of course sleep well(!) to be the best you. It really is that straightforward. You don’t need any gadgets or expensive products to be healthy. Most things that are the most effective are either free (sleep, exercise, socialising) or fundamentals of life (natural food).

Feeling inspired today by the true experts in their field and so glad to have been part of such a great event. Well done Roger Worrell! ❤️
