What’s your relationship with sleep?  Were you a good sleeper as a baby? If so, that could mean you need a lot of sleep as an adult!  My mom told me that I slept through the night pretty early on as a baby!  You’re welcome Mom!  Unfortunately that trend didn’t keep going.  There did come a point where me and sleep were NOT friends and I suffered from really bad insomnia!  From late high school, through the early years of my career there I would have many sleepless nights.  The cause, well of course stress! But also my lifestyle and what I was consuming.  From bad food to late night emails.     Listen in as we talk about: Sleep and feeling so tired after getting hit with Covid  Suffering from Insomnia and how I had to training myself to turn off my brain  Sleeping pattern as infant lead   Student life and early in my career I was stressed and that caused my insomnia.  The need for a good night time is essential to overall healthy  Tips for getting better quality sleep.    Impact of removing coffee from my diet was life changing.  Mind tire vs. physically tired and importance of moving the body Time of day that you eat has a big impact on your sleep Foods that have a big sleep impact - Sugar and other processed foods Taking inventory of food you eat and when you eat it  Night routine - so important  Showing at night let’s me release my thoughts  Sleep meditation helps unwind.    Do you love the show?
