Don’t wait for holiday. Start recovering now! Here is how.
Recovery happens as part of sleep but also during the day. Here I share tips on how to recover while being awake.
Sleep during the Menopausal Transition
Dr Kat explains how poor sleep reduces quality of life and adds to the feeling of losing control during the perimenopause.
A compassionate approach to poor sleep during the perimenopause
Many women going through the perimenopause (or menopausal transition) experience disturbed sleep. It’s one, if not the, core symptom of this period. According to research, up to 60% of menopausal women suffer from poor sleep – which also has a knock-on effect on their family, work and social lives.
Adopting a compassionate attitude, i.e. taking a moment to respectfully observe yourself struggling with the aim to support yourself, can help to alleviate poor sleep and its daytime consequences.
Tips on Social Isolation and Sleeping Well
Dr Kat has put together some practical tips on how to sleep well while working from home in the face of Covid-19 to support your health and performance.
Healthy Sleep – What it is and Why it Matters
Chances are that when reading about sleep you’ll have come across the term ‘healthy sleep’ or ‘sleep health’. Often there isn’t much of an explanation what those terms refer to and you might have wondered what they actually mean. What is healthy sleep? And after all, isn’t all sleep healthy? Good questions! Well to answer the second question first: no, not all sleep is healthy. But we can do a lot to make it healthy!
How to use sleep smartly in your business
Employees are an organisation’s biggest asset. Or to be more specific, productive employees are. But what makes employees productive and keeps them engaged? Humans aren’t robots who can be left alone to work 24/7. What do employees need to do if they want to be as effective as possible? The answer is to maintain good health, both physically and mentally. But what fosters these? Sleep.

You’ll be glad to learn that Christmas Dinner is actually a healthier choice for supporting your circadian rhythm. While the time each of us may choose to eat our Chritsmas Dinner may vary (and even divide! 😅) it is, generally speaking, earlier in the day than our usual evening meal. And anything we may then have in the evening tends to be a little lighter. ![]()

Not having the heaviest meal of the day so close to the time you’re asking your body to slow down, switch off its processes and go to sleep, is much better for your sleep!![]()

💙 So, see if you can take this into the New Year with you and eat your evening meal even a little earlier, to give your body the time it needs to digest, slow down and prepare for restful sleep and support your circadian rhythm.![]()
