The morning sunlight has been totally revolutionising my sleep! I got out on my balcony for 5 minutes every morning when I wake up and I swear I've been sleeping so much better. Thanks so much for all of the other tips in this post!

That’s so great Lucy! I love hearing this. And I’m seeing you on your balcony in my mind, sucking in that sunshine.

It’s one of my favourite pieces of sleep science: That feeling of morning light hitting your retina signals one of the best ever chain reactions — it runs from your retina through your whole body aligning all your internal clocks. Thanks for letting me know that it’s working for you 🙏💪💛

Yep-take any medical, emotional, psychological or spiritual problem that exists and the science shows that poor sleep will either exacerbate our struggles or set them off in motion to begin with and oftentimes both. If I had to pick my #1 health and wellness tip/indicator for overall health and wellness-Sleep Hygiene!

Great read Brodee and I love the A-Z approach. Very helpful + creative :)
