  • If you got 99 problems, sleep is your first one

    If you got 99 problems, sleep is your first one

    I got 99 problems and sleep is number 1

    All the toddler parents out there know the feeling!

    The last 3 weeks have been pretty intense

    Midnight awakenings, 1-2 hours back to sleep, early mornings, repeat

    You feel like a zombie!

    Good luck focussing at work

    Or eating well, where’s the bread?

    Training? Just barely (I have my minimum standard of 10 minutes of movement that I do)

    Often our personal training clients have big plans about the changes they’re going to make to their nutrition, or exercise, cut down on alcohol…

    However, if you’re sleeping badly, any of these changes can seem impossible

    Everything else is a lot easier when you’ve had a good night sleep

    Particularly if the poor sleep is ongoing

    How you fix your sleep depends on where you’re struggling most

    As always, we use an individualised approach to our sleep coaching

    Each person is different, and so the starting points will always be different

    Just like if you’re changing your nutrition

    Some people need help falling asleep

    Others wake up and can’t get back to sleep

    Or wake up to wee more than once a night

    This might be you, you’re in bed for 8-9 hours and wake up feeling hungover

    Whatever it is, there are ways to improve

    The biggest issue just needs to be identified and often it can be easily attacked

    If you’re experiencing terrible sleep and are looking to get on track with your health and fitness

    Still start exercising (it will help with the sleep), but prioritise fixing your sleep!
