I’m the first person to do whatever I can to get a good night’s sleep – and I know I’m not alone in my quest. However, sometimes finding out what’s getting in the way of the sleep we all crave is not as obvious as we would all like it to be. Darn you life […]
The bigger picture…
I recently had a chat with Bev Short, Vitality Coach and Menopause Specialist from New Zealand, on her YouTube channel. Bev’s focus is to work with women over 40 around the world to transform their health, energy, menopause symptoms and happiness. One of Bev’s key messages for her clients is to get good sleep. Unsurprisingly […]
Snoring: A cause for combat… or concern?
Readers of my blog or book would be very familiar with the fact that a snoring spouse (and sorry guys, but it’s predominantly you) is the number one cause that disrupts a partner’s sleep. The most frustrating aspect of snoring is that it’s never intentional; it’s not a choice the snorer makes, and unfortunately… none […]
Is 2017 your year for a Clean Sleep Revolution?
I know I’m leaving it a little late to be talking about new year’s resolutions, but I figure there may still be folk out there furiously planning their goals and change plans for 2017. So……. if you are still struggling to articulate a new and fabulous YOU for the 365s of 2017, I have a […]
Arianna Has Spoken…
And…. I agree with her. Arianna Huffington (if you need the surname, because I think that if she isn’t already in the territory of single-name fame, she’s pretty darn close) has spoken about sleep. And by spoken, I mean written a book called ‘The Sleep Revolution‘. If you have been under a rock for the […]
Don’t blame it on the sunshine, moonlight or good times… blame it on the cortisol.
A Swedish study has found that we look terrible when we are tired. While, I respect all research, I don’t think these findings are going to come as a big shock to anyone. We’ve all had the unpleasant experience of our own frightening reflection after a night of no, or bad sleep. The main purpose […]
Position, position, position…
My last post featured research undertaken by Patti Wood on what your sleeping position says about your relationship. If you happen to have read that, you will know that I can’t say Patti’s hypotheses filled me with confidence, nor made me nod my head in agreement or wonder. However, recent (scientific) research has piqued my […]
Positioning oneself for success…..
There have been a number of articles recently about findings by Patti Wood – a body language expert – around what your sleeping positions reveals about the state of your relationship. Patti tells us that: Because your subconscious mind controls the way you sleep with your partner, sleep body language can be an amazingly accurate […]
A disconnection…..
Since delving into the world of separate sleeping, a relationship dynamic has consistently confused me. To explain this confusion, I’m going to step you through the thought path that leads me to contort an expression of equal parts anger, frustration, confusion and frustration. (I would take a picture, but I don’t think it would do […]
Three sleep reads….
The New Yorker recently ran a three-part series on sleep. Written by Maria Konnikova, I thought it a most appropriate link to provide to celebrate the end of Sleep Awareness Week in Australia. I hope there is some wisdom and interesting reading for you. Sleep well.
