Sleep matters – and I bet you’ve heard this before.
In this episode, linked to the Thrive as You Age guidebook (download for FREE here), I talk about how daytime habits can affect your sleep quality, and how the quality really matters to your daytime habits. It’s a full circle!
Like everything around holistic health, we look at sleep from a different angle – linking it to ageing, your eating habits, and talking briefly about a few things you can practice to always have the best rest.
This episode covers:
- Why sleep matters, especially as you age
- How sleep is linked to not only tiredness, but all sort of other symptoms
- How your daytime habits affect your sleep quality
- Things to pay attention to when it comes to sleep as you approach midlife
- How wearable technology can be useful for sleep tracking
- An observational study showing how poor sleep in midlife is associated with increased risk of dementia
- A few simple strategies you can use for a better night of sleep
