In today’s episode, Devin and I discuss all things related to sleep. If you or someone you know struggles with sleep, this episode is a must-listen! Here are three key takeaways that you won’t want to miss: Understanding Sleep as a Biological Process Devin shares that sleep is a natural biological process that should happen effortlessly. If you’re struggling to sleep, it’s your body’s way of signaling that something is out of balance. This could be related to stress, anxiety, or even your daily habits. Recognizing that sleep issues are often a reflection of our daytime behaviors is important for finding effective solutions. The Importance of Morning Routines Did you know that a great night’s sleep starts the moment you wake up? Devin suggests that instead of reaching for that morning coffee or diving into emails, we should prioritize hydration, sunlight, and grounding ourselves in nature. These simple actions can set the tone for a restful night. By managing our stress levels and being mindful of our morning routines, we can improve our sleep quality. Breaking the Cycle of Insomnia For those who find themselves tossing and turning at night, Devin shares a strategy: if you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes, get out of bed and engage in a relaxing activity away from screens. Remember, it’s not about forcing sleep; it’s about creating an environment where sleep can happen naturally. This episode is filled with information that can help your relationship with sleep. Whether you’re dealing with insomnia, stress, or just want to optimize your sleep quality, this episode is for you.
