Why Standard Sleep Advice Fails Some Women — and a Different Approach That Works
About this episode
We all know that sleep is important for our long-term health – but it can be hard to make sleep a priority when we’re also dealing with kids, hormones, work stress, and (gulp) social media use. That’s why the approachable and unique methods of sleep consultant HELEN PECKMAN are so crucial to understanding things like:
• How “sleep drive” works and how we can use it to get better rest
• What non-pharmaceutical options exist to combat insomnia
• How understanding your Human Design can improve your sleep hygiene
• What the ideal nap length is and how to take a true “power” nap
If you’ve been bearing your own lack of sleep as a badge of honour for years, it’s time to wake up (pun intended)! Let HELEN PECKMAN convince you of the mental and physical power of 7-9 nightly hours, as well as how individual preferences and innate Human Design can influence your sleep quantity and quality.
Pop in your headphones for a quick 45-minute listen to our sixth episode of The Forties Formula, Season 2 – and while we hope you don’t fall asleep during the podcast (!), the tips you learn will surely inspire you to hop earlier to bed tonight.
