Sign-up for Sleep: How To Get It - And How To Keep It - All Night!

Sleep is a crucial aspect of our overall health and well-being, and yet, it seems like more and more people are struggling with getting a good night's rest.

Women, in particular, seem to be affected by sleep issues as they age.

But what exactly is the connection between sleep and our health, and why is it so important to get enough of it?

In this week's episode, Christine discusses the physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual processes that take place in our bodies while we sleep, and why sleep is so crucial to our overall health.

She also discusses the impact of stress on our sleep and how it affects our daily lives.

She covers:

Struggling with sleep in the hospital due to pain and body being in fight or flight response
Using technology to distract from thoughts/provide background noise, but why that ended up hindering sleep
Factors that can contribute to poor sleep in women over the age of 35
The roles that cortisol and melatonin play in sleep/wake cycle, and how that 3am wake-up call is impacted by these hormones
Why blood sugar regulation is important for good sleep

Christine also talks about her upcoming sleep workshop, which delves deeper into these topics, including the role of food and supplements in promoting good sleep.
