ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This month’s episode is all about sleep. Sleep is a fundamental pillar to good health - we all know what we are like and how we behave when we haven’t had good night’s sleep and similarly, we feel like we can take on the world when we are well rested. In this episode I talk about the impact of the pandemic on sleep, the importance of good sleep and offer some tips and tricks to help you head off to slumberland. As ever, I hope you find this episode interesting and I hope that it encourages you to assess your sleep health/hygiene. I’m not a great sleeper, so I recognise that good sleep/falling asleep quickly can elude many people. If you’re struggling with your sleep at the moment (and my voice doesn’t help you drift off), please be assured, there are millions of ASMR videos, thousands of sleep sound playlists available and hundreds of apps to help. As well as speaking to your doctor, your workplace may invest in subscriptions to meditation/relaxation apps as part of their EAP/wellbeing offerings because they recognise the importance of sleep and the relationship between rest of productivity. You may want to explore these tools because sleep helps us perform better, show up for ourselves (and in our relationships) and has huge health benefits.
