Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the Corona Sleep, 6 week podcast series on the Empowering Family Health show…..Millions of people around the world have difficulty sleeping, and with covid 19 that problem has only gotten worse. The ongoing coronavirus crisis has made getting a good night’s rest significantly harder. Some experts even have a term for it: ‘coronasomnia’. This has impacted people all over the world as they experience sleep problems linked to the stress of life during Covid-19. Here is what I will be covering over the next 6 weeks:Wk:1 Exercise/Moving & SunshinePeople are more sedentary than ever. Our sedentary nature is something we cannot adapt to either. We are designed to move. We need to use up all our daytime/wake hormones so we can sleep at night. Wk 2: Food & EatingOvereating is another problem many of us are encountering and as a result not sleep well. Our metabolism is out of whack. Sleep is important regulating metabolism, including blood glucose and mechanisms controlling appetite and weight gain.Wk 3: Alcohol & MedicationsFor many, alcohol consumption has increased. This has a significant impact on our sleep cycle at night.Wk 4: Electronic DevicesScreens and electronic devices are causing havoc with our sleep patternsWk 5: Immune SystemRight now, sleep is so important to have a strong functioning immune systemWk 6: Stress & Circadian Rhythm Many people are experiencing fear, stress and anxiety, leading to trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep during the night.Here are some links mentioned in the show:7 Day Sleep Challenge (Free): https://johanncallaghan.com/7-day-sleep-challengeIntrobiz Global Summit 3 day event (Free): https://globalsummit.march2021.introbiz.co.uk/======Contact Johann (host) here:https://johanncallaghan.comhttps://www.facebook.com/authorjohanncallaghanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johanncallaghan======Podcasts available at:https://empoweringfamilyhealth.buzzsprout.com======YouTubeSUBSCRIBE for more Podcasting Videos: https://bit.ly/3mVzszyFull PodcastingSupport the showIf you would like to support the show on Patreon:Join my Patreon Page:https://www.patreon.com/empoweringfamilyhealth Contact Johann (host) here: https://linktr.ee/johanncallaghan_sleepcoach📚 Recommended Reading Listhttps://amz.run/3xFPAmazing Authors like James Clear, Dale Carnegie, Stephen R.
