A message to future you! 💙💙💙The harmful effects of not getting enough sleep aren’t always readily noticeable, but you could protect your future self immensely, so take note. You can help her immensely by doing these small things today, tomorrow, next week and next year. Menopause or Perimenopause may seem a long way off or it may feel like something you don’t want to think about right now, but sleep can support you in preparing for this in ways you may not realise, while supporting your other long term health too! Supporting wellbeing now can help you tackle this inevitable change with more ease and more confidence, and one of the biggest influencers in supporting your wellbeing?You guessed it - sleep. 💤 💤💤 Sleep helps you to:💤 Regulate hormones which as you move towards perimenopause, will begin to fluctuate (one of the main factors in temperature changes) - it helps your body adapt to fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone levels.💤 Reduce Inflammation and support recovery. Sleep is one of the biggest components in our bodies’ recovery. Again, fluctuating hormones can impact physical symptoms like inflamation & joint pain - giving your body the quality sleep it really needs to recover and regulate can be game changing. 💤 Support Mood and Mental Clarity - both common complaints during this transition, but can be helped immensely by the way we prepare our bodies and quality sleep is one sure way to do it!Plus, looking before and after perimenopause, lack of sleep can also impact other issues and diseases - for example lack of sleep can increase the risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, it affects mood paving the way for mood disorders, and it might increase the risk of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. So, don’t put it off as unimportant or something you can avoid when you have to, or ‘do with out’. Sleep is valuable to you and your future self.If you want to know more about my thoughts on this topic - I’ve written some words that you’ll find linked in my bio. 💙#Sleep #WomensHealth #SleepForHealth #SleepTherapy #SleepTherapist #SleepWell #SleepHealth #FemaleHealth ...
