Sleep is one of the most undervalued components of our health – if we can improve the quality of our sleep, we can improve the quality of our lives. Getting more sleep improves every aspect of our lives – it makes us less prone to injury when we exercise, boosts our productivity and enhances our ability to lose weight. Yet so many of us struggle to get a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.
In this episode, I have decided to try something a little bit different and draw on the wealth of knowledge that is contained in all my previous episodes to put together some of the most actionable tips to help improve the quality of your sleep. You will also hear about the effect of artificial light, caffeine and alcohol on the quality of our sleep.
This episode is jam packed with simple tips that you can put into practice straight away and I hope that by the end of the episode, if you don’t already, you will be convinced to make sleep a priority in your life.

0:00.0 | There is a wealth of amazing sleep research coming out which tells us that sleep is the most powerful performance enhance are known to humankind. |
0:10.0 | And so it's almost like we need to pay attention to sleep a little bit more if we are to eat at our best, to manage our weight and to move effectively. |
0:20.0 | Hi, my name is Rongen Chasji. Welcome to Feel Better Live More. |
0:31.0 | So how are you all doing? This is episode 111 of My Podcast. |
0:38.0 | I'm actually doing really well at the moment and I'm super excited about Day Show, which is something a little bit different and is all about sleep. |
0:50.0 | So my team and I have decided to put together a special compilation episode with some of the highlights from previous episodes of the podcast all based around the very popular topic of sleep. |
1:03.0 | Now, many of you have been asking me for some shorts of compilation episodes, but what is really prompted this week's show is two key reasons. |
1:14.0 | Firstly, in lockdown, many of you have told me that you don't have your usual car journey into work or your long train commute times when you would usually escape with your earbuds and listen in peace to my weekly long form conversations. |
1:29.0 | I know you are still getting through the chats, sometimes over two runs or two walks, but for some of you I feel that shorter content may be easier to fit into your current schedule. |
1:42.0 | Secondly, you may know that it is my incredible wife who produces every single episode and with the current UK lockdown situation with all schools being shut, our children are at home the entire time. |
1:56.0 | And we are both super mindful of spending as much quality time with them as we can around our respective work commitments. |
2:04.0 | So we thought a compilation episode with some highlights from previous content might help reduce the workload. |
2:12.0 | In fact, it is actually taken quite a lot of time to produce, but we are super happy with the results and really think that you are going to enjoy. |
2:21.0 | You are about to be taken on a journey of time travel through my podcast and I have five brilliant former guests lined up for you sharing some of their very best practical tips on sleep. |
2:35.0 | Now sleep is one of the most undervalued pillars of health. Many people struggle with their sleep, particularly at the moment. |
2:42.0 | And I can tell you in almost 20 years of seeing patients, the vast majority of sleep problems can be improved if not completely fixed by making small tweaks to your lifestyle. |
2:55.0 | If you are a long time listener of my show, you will no doubt recognize some of these previous guests. |
3:02.0 | And if you are a new listener, I suspect that these short clips may prompt you to revisit some of the original episodes. |
3:10.0 | Now, before we get started, I really do want to give an important shout out to the sponsors who really are essential in order for me to put out episodes like this one. |
3:21.0 | There is so much talk of sterilizing and sanitizing at the moment, but at times like these, we also need to be thinking of ways to strengthen our bodies' amazing natural defenses. |
3:33.0 | And in the mouth, this is the oral microbiome. |
3:37.0 | Xendium is the very first toothpaste brand that I have come across that aims to support the health of the oral microbiome. |
