Good sleep 😴 starts in the morning

I can't believe people still believe this: Someone told me at the gym last week that sleep doesn't matter, you can catch up later.

Listen, one night of bad sleep will hurt you in more ways than you know. Imagine what many nights, months and years of bad sleep will do to you.

• Leads to more hunger and sugar cravings

• Anxiety and mood swings

• Cortisol belly and face

• Lower thyroid function

• Slowed metabolism

• Lower immune system

Think back to when you had a bad night of sleep? The next day how did you feel?

So you are probably saying, “Yes, Caitlyn I know I need more sleep.”

But you struggle with staying asleep, falling asleep, and waking up at 3 am every night with racing thoughts.

You hear about a bedtime routine, but good sleep starts the morning of! 

☀️ Get outside with the sun as early as you can, if you can, go for a walk.

🍳 Eat breakfast within 30-45 min of waking with 30-40 g of protein, some fat and carbs.

🌳 Be outside as much as you can, even if it is for a 10 min walk.

⏰ Set a limit on the time you are scrolling your phone

💭 Be intentional and take time to take deep calming breaths for a minute throughout the day.

📲 Stop your screen time 1 hour before bed, calm your mind and journal your thoughts so they aren't stuck in your head

Those are just a few tips I share with my clients. 

The MAIN thing is to regulate your nervous system all day by eating balanced, nutritious meals and getting outside. This all impacts our adrenals, cortisol, and circadian rhythm which impacts our sleep and hormones. 

School is out and I have opened up spots for coaching. If you are wanting to focus on your health and get to the bottom of why your sleep, hormones, gut, period, and thyroid are a wreck without wasting more time, energy, and money on doing it yourself, let’s talk!
