Day by day, we are witnessing an increase in sleep deprivation. People are sleeping less for different reasons. Some people are working too much and have little time to sleep, while others can’t sleep. Lately, I realized how blessed I am to have the superpower to fall asleep. Many people struggle with sleep issues which I believe can be solved.
In this episode, I talk about sleep and your gut. There is a deep relationship between your gut and sleep. For instance, if you had a meal just a few minutes before bed, you would realize you’ll struggle to fall asleep. When lying down, our bodies lack the gravity advantage to push food down our digestive systems. Thus, the food sits in the stomach, which is not good for us. This may cause issues like GERD, which have an impact on our sleep. Also, if you consume beverages like tea or coffee just before bedtime, you might encounter some challenges falling asleep.
In this episode, I aim to educate you on how to sleep better. I will help you understand REM (rapid eye movement) and the Circadian rhythm, how your gut plays a role in interrupting your sleep, how you can create a sleep sanctuary, and share a few things that can help you with sleep.
Grab your notebook and pen; you should take some notes.
