So we can either choose to sit in the dark or we can just live our life by candlelight.
Feeling tired and irritable can make it incredibly tough to stay on track with your sobriety goals. But what if better sleep could be the game-changer you need? In this episode of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle, host James Swanwick shares his expert advice on achieving the 'gold standard' of sleep, based on his keynote talk at the 2022 Wellness Weekend in Austin, TX.

James breaks down how the artificial light from our screens can mess with our sleep cycles, leading to a range of health issues like eye strain, headaches, and even obesity. He suggests simple yet effective solutions like wearing orange lens glasses at night or living by candlelight to minimize blue light exposure. James also shares other handy tips like getting morning sunlight to reset your body clock, exercising early in the day, and avoiding late-night snacks.
He emphasizes creating a comfortable sleep environment, recommending thin pillows or even no pillows at all for a better night's rest. This episode is packed with valuable insights that can help you not just sleep better but also stay committed to an alcohol-free lifestyle. If you’re struggling with sleep and looking for ways to support your journey towards sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
