Sleep is a biological necessity that services all aspects of our body, and makes us feel rested and restored. Sleep helps improve mood, lowers our heart rate, decreases stress, improves memory, increases immunity, and detoxifies the brain. So getting a good night's rest matters!

How do I view my sleep?
For many people, a good night's rest is challenging. Negative perceptions around sleep can develop, which leads to unhealthy behaviours and habits that can affect our ability to fall asleep. By reframing our beliefs, challenging our mindset, and ensuring we prioritize our sleep, we can retrain our body to get the rest it deserves.

Can I manage stress?
Stress mitigation strategies are crucial when it comes to ensuring that our bodies can recover during sleep. Breath re-education, postural restoration, mindfulness, and exercise are just some methods that can help clients discover ways to tap into the parasympathetic state or 'rest and digest', so falling asleep and staying asleep become easier.

Is my schedule optimized?
Our sleep-wake cycle is governed by our circadian rhythm, a natural biological clock in our brain that receives external cues like light, temperature and food. Consistent sleep and wake times, exposure to daylight, and avoiding bright light at night can improve sleep quality. Understanding our chronotype can also optimize our melatonin production at night.
