In this episode of RAW CHATTER!, Vicky Midwood, known as The Addiction Eliminator, dives into the critical importance of sleep and why it's high time we stop sacrificing it. Vicky's extensive experience in health, fitness, and wellness makes her the perfect guide to debunk the myth that getting by on little sleep is somehow admirable. She argues that sleep and hydration are the bedrock of good health, and without them, everything else falls apart.
If you've ever found yourself running on fumes, this episode is for you. Vicky explores how modern life bombards us with stimuli from social media, traffic, and endless decision-making, all of which drain our energy reserves. She emphasises that sleep is the body's way of recharging and that neglecting it can lead to poor mood, low energy, and even serious health issues like autoimmune diseases.
You'll learn practical tips on setting yourself up for good sleep, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a cool and clutter-free bedroom environment, and avoiding screens before bed. Vicky also tackles common misconceptions about sleep, like the belief that some people can function well on less than six hours a night. Spoiler alert: they can't! She encourages you to aim for at least seven to nine hours of sleep to truly feel your best.
And if you're struggling with sleep, Vicky offers actionable advice, including the benefits of morning exercise and the importance of gratitude journaling before bed. So, if you're tired of being tired and want to reclaim your energy and well-being, this episode is a must-listen. Remember, prioritising sleep isn't just a luxury; it's essential for a healthy, happy life.
