A Good Night’s Sleep Starts in the Morning: Why What You Do First Thing Matters {7.11}

Chances are as a mum to a little person your sleep is restricted or disrupted most nights. Chances are you're drowning yourself in coffee and feeling wretched most days. What if you spent your time optimising your day to get you the best night's sleep ever? In today's episode I'm talking about the importance of a morning routine for getting a good night's sleep. It sounds counter-intuitive but how you start your day has a huge impact on your night - and it's all biological!  I discuss... How your morning affects your circadian rhythm What the circadian rhythm is and the link between morning light and night-time sleep The benefits of a morning routine for a good night's sleep Tips to get you started on establishing a morning routine I think it can be easy as mothers to dismiss your own sleep needs as 'just what happens' - but I think there are ways to get better sleep!

Raising Healthy Mothers is a podcast for mothers, whether you're pregnant, just given birth, or are two years postpartum. If you’re looking for a natural, calm, healthy start to motherhood and you’re after some inspiration to help you get started, then you’re in the right place. I believe the first 1000 days of motherhood - from conception to 2 years postpartum - is vitally important to get right from a health point of view. But it's so easy to get overwhelmed! This podcast is about feeling supported and crafting your very own village so you can embrace motherhood with confidence and joy. Each week I focus on a topic that I think is important for a mothers’ health and wellbeing, and I’ll be bringing guest experts on to talk about how they support new mothers.
