I knew the advice.
I was qualified to give it.
But knowing how to look after yourself and believing you’re worth looking after are very different things.
I could be so kind to other people while being absolutely brutal to myself.
For years, I carried shame about my drinking, my choices, the person I’d been. What changed wasn’t another qualification or a perfect bedtime routine.
I started forgiving her. The old me. And slowly, looking after myself stopped feeling like something I had to force and became something I wanted to do.
That hasn’t made every night perfect, and self-love isn’t a cure for sleep problems.
But it changed how I treated myself, including on the difficult nights. You don’t have to become a better version of yourself before you deserve care. You deserve it now. ❤️

Save this for the evening you’re exhausted but still telling yourself you haven’t done enough.

Sometimes the simplest sleep changes are the best ones. 💤

I completely agree with Alex Hormozi here about learning to sleep with earplugs!
My boyfriend introduced me to these after I’d tried so many and found them uncomfortable. Bizarrely, they’re actually designed for motorcycling 😂 but they’re so comfortable I genuinely forget I’m wearing them.
Add a sleep mask if your room isn’t completely dark - this one came in my Freemans Sleep Well box - and you’ve dealt with two of the most common environmental sleep disruptors: unwanted noise and unwanted light.

Earplugs in. Sleep mask on. Bob’s your uncle, Fanny’s your aunt. 😂💤

Exhausted all day… then suddenly WIDE AWAKE the second you get into bed? 😩

It makes absolutely no sense when it’s happening to you.

You’ve spent the entire day dreaming about your bed. You’re shattered. You finally get under the covers and… PING. 👀

But being exhausted and being ready for sleep aren’t always the same thing.

There are three key things I want you to understand:

💤 Sleep pressure — the drive for sleep that builds the longer you’re awake
⏰ Your body clock — helping determine when your body expects sleep and wakefulness
🧠 Your nervous system — because if your body is still in high-alert mode, switching off can be much harder

And this is why simply telling yourself “I’m exhausted, I SHOULD be asleep” can make the whole thing even more frustrating.

Understanding what’s actually happening takes away some of that fear and gives you something you can work with.

You’re not trying to force sleep. You’re creating the conditions that allow it to happen. ❤️

Save this for the next time you’re lying there wondering how on earth you can be this tired and still not asleep.

And if this sounds like you, tell me — which one do you think is getting in the way of your sleep? 1, 2 or 3? 👇🏼

Sleep really is your superpower 🦸🏼‍♀️ and it’s time we started treating it that way. 💤✨

I was so proud to take to the stage at the BeWell Festival .movement in Athens to explain what sleep actually does for our bodies and brains, why we feel so terrible without enough of it and, most importantly, how we can get more of it.
Here’s a little clip from my talk.
The full 28-minute “Sleep Is Your Superpower” talk is now available on my YouTube channel, The Sleep Mummy. Head to the link in my bio or my Stories to watch it.
A huge thank you to , and the entire .movement team for making me part of the BeWell family from the very beginning. Here’s to the next three years and many more! 💙✨

If you change ONE thing for your sleep… start here. 🌙
Your body needs to know the difference between daytime and nighttime.
☀️ Daytime = daylight, movement, activity, stimulation.
🌙 Nighttime = darker, quieter, calmer, slower.

Those signals help regulate your body clock and tell your brain when it’s time to be alert - and when it’s time to prepare for sleep.
Make your days bright and your nights dark. It really can be that simple. ❤️

PS. I’ve spent today recording meditations for Sleep Thrive and apparently my own voice is so soothing I nearly sent myself to sleep while recording them 😂😴 I’m going to attempt to get a couple onto YouTube too… once I win my current battle with technology 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

HOT SLEEPERS 🥵👆🏼
Don’t underestimate your bedding!
Especially during peri/menopause 💤🤍

One of the simplest places to start when improving sleep? Look at the room you’re asking your body to sleep in. 👀💤

Parents of teenagers… give them a break this September 😴😂❤️
If getting your teen out of bed for school feels like trying to raise the dead, it’s not necessarily because they’re lazy.
During puberty, their body clock naturally shifts later. They tend to feel sleepy later at night and naturally want to wake later in the morning -which is particularly brutal when school expects them to be functioning at 7am after weeks of summer lie-ins. 🙃
We can’t change school start times, but we CAN help their body clock adjust: earlier wake times gradually, plenty of morning daylight, darker/calmer evenings and as much consistency as real life allows.
So when that alarm goes off tomorrow morning… a little less “GET OUT OF BED!” and a little more sympathy. 😂❤️
The world really isn’t designed around the teenage body clock.

Save this for the school-week struggle - and send it to another parent of a teenager who needs to hear it. 💤

One of the most overlooked sleep tips? Choosing bedding that suits the season. Overheating is a huge sleep disruptor 🌙💤
