  • Finding your ritual

    Good sleep is vital for our physical and mental wellbeing, but getting a good sleep is often easier said than done. One of the most simple ways you can set yourself up for a more restful sleep is by setting yourself some sleep rituals, and cleaning up your bedtime routine.
  • Finding Margin

    Life can be very busy with work, home, family, friends and study commitments, which makes it hard when we all want to prioritise our health, fitness, well being and sleep. A growing “To Do List”, packed calendar of appointments, and demands from work and family can fill our days. It can feel like we are just running from one thing to the next and that there is no time to stop, no white space, no margin. We can fall into bed exhausted but find it hard to sleep or wake up with our minds racing, going over what didn’t get done and what needs to be done tomorrow. One way to improve sleep is to add some extra margin or white space into our days.
