Sweet dreams

Sleep is as important to your health, fitness and wellbeing as a balanced diet and exercise routine. On this page, I’ll show you various ways that you can get a better night’s shuteye and reap the benefits, of which there are many:

  • Increased energy levels.

  • Improved mood.

  • Better ability to concentrate.

  • Improved memory and ability to learn.

  • Better decision making.

  • Quicker reaction times.

  • Feeling less hungry and having better control over your appetite.


  • Weight loss.

  • Better and quicker recovery from exercise.

  • Better stress management.

  • Better blood sugar control and decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes.

  • Plus lower blood pressure, a healthier heart, less risk of problems with libido and fertility, and better immune function.

Pretty cool huh? That’s why I’ve been researching sleep for a number of years and helping my clients to make simple changes that help them to sleep more and better, benefitting them in so many ways.

Articles on sleep

Here are a couple of blog articles that I’ve written to help you sleep better. Take a look, but try not to nod off before the end! ;-)

Habits for more and better sleep

To date, I’ve discovered 22 powerful habits for improving your sleep quantity and quality. As always with the balance method, some of them are mindset habits, some are nutritional, some relate to your lifestyle and daily routines, and some are activity habits.

In the Fitness and Wellbeing Coaching work that I do with my clients, we work together to identify which of these habits could best help them to improve their sleep. We often find that better sleep is the gateway to lots of other healthier habits too, as clients have more energy for exercise and find it easier to make healthier food choices when they’re less tired.
