Sleep problems are no stranger to me, they also span in their unique root cause. While I can’t promise to pinpoint the exact reason you aren’t sleeping, here are a few tips and tricks I’ve learned in my insomnia journey:

– Solidifying good sleep starts from the moment you wake up.

– Go outside and sit in direct sunlight for 20-30 minutes with no sunglasses to help retrain your circadian rhythm.

– Make sure you’re eating a balanced meal high in protein and fat within the first 30 minutes of waking.

– Don’t drink coffee on an empty stomach. 

– If you feel like you’re dragging in the morning and wired at night, your cortisol rhythm is opposite of what it should be, and therefore your adrenals are suffering. Focus on nourishing movement like walking, yoga and weight training with long recovery windows between sets.

– REST when you’re tired, try not to push yourself too much and lean into respecting your body.

– Have a bedtime snack to balance your blood sugar and cortisol. 

– Implement a well-rounded sleep supplement with L-theanine, herbs and 5HTP.

Simple! You can step into one of my courses & plug into the Wholly Well community to get answers + access to me and many others who have walked this path too. Be sure you also look to see if I’m offering a group coaching offering or if you’re more advanced and are looking for some deeper answers and one-on-one work, you can book a call to see if coaching would be a good fit for you!

I believe in bio-individuality meaning every person is unique in their make-up and biology and it’s impossible to make a broad sweeping recommendation until we dig a little deeper into who you are and what you need nutritionally.
