5 Sleep Tips

With nearly 50% of us regularly experiencing periods of insomnia it’s no wonder so much research is now going in to how we can encourage decent sleep patterns, so here are a few tips to get you started…

1. Exercise regularly, ideally outside, this has a positive impact on our sleep patterns, mental health and physical well-being. It might not be your favourite thing to do, but your body will thank you for it.

2. Increase your exposure to natural light, this helps to keep your circadian rhythm, or body clock, on track. This may feel harder at this time of the year but even a lunchtime walk or popping outside during your tea break will make a big difference.

3. Keep a routine, aim for regular bedtimes and getting up at the same time in the morning too. Obviously this is harder for shift workers, when getting up with children at night or caring for sick relatives, but aim for a routine where possible…..but don’t be hard on yourself if this isn’t an option for you right now.

4. Avoid caffeine after midday (gasp!) It has been found that caffeine still acts upon our body for up to 12 hours after consumption, so switch to a caffeine free option after midday.

5. Warm baths, having a hot/warm bath before bed induces feelings of relaxation as your core temperature rises slightly, your tired muscles relax and you relax and breath a little deeper. Adding Epsom Salts and a few drops of Camomile and/or lavender to your bath can boost the relaxation benefits and aid restful sleep.

Sweet dreams 😴

As much as many of us are lucky enough to have supportive partners, there is still a large mental, emotional and physical load to carry…..it’s important to sometimes just stop and take a little time out for you.

Have a great day x

“Hey mom why are you so tired?” ⠀

Because. Because you are most likely the keeper of every emotion of all of your children and most likely your entire family, because you are most likely the sole organizer of your entire family’s doctors, dentist, ortho, dermatologist, tutors, haircuts, birthday parties, parent-teacher interviews and on and on and on. ⠀
⠀
You are most likely the keeper and maker of all the special moments, vacations and family times that they will store in their memory bank forever. Because you most likely take care of a house while simultaneously stress about bringing an income in to relieve the financial load in the house. ⠀
⠀
You most likely know what each and every one of your children is feeling and what they need without them having to utter a word but you can tell by their facial expression or response exactly what they need.....you are most likely the one that somehow manages to cram a full day of work into hours so you can cook dinner, help with homework, be their cheerleader, therapist, boo boo kisser and emotional trampoline. You are their emotional barometer for “ok”, even if you’re not you show up as if you are. ⠀
⠀
“Hey mom why are you so tired”, because you are the thread that holds it all together while barely holding yourself together but making it look like you have to all together for everyone else around you, because you don’t have the space or the time to not be together. ⠀
⠀
You are so tired because you wouldn’t change it for the world, ever. Every night, every mother knows this. ....The insane gratitude of checking on them as you crawl to your own bed after a more than insane day, wondering if they know how much you love them and if you did it ok. You will lie there and wonder how you can do better ....
⠀
But just so you know you are a dang freaking superhero, even if you’re more than slightly tired ❤️
