  You’re an Insomniac!

  Image Source

  When they say geniuses tend to be the insomniacs of society, they’re obviously talking about you.You have too many thoughts to think! Studies show people with higher IQs have trouble switching off their brains, leading to insomnia. Insomniacs tend to show more signs of internalisation, anxiety, and perfectionism. And some people are naturally more resistant to sleep deprivation.This is great for your creative mind, but chronic sleep deprivation has its downsides. Whether you can’t fall asleep, wake up earlier than the sun itself, or can’t stay asleep. Regularly sleeping less than 5 hours makes you more susceptible to depression, diabetes, obesity, and other health issues.It’s not completely clear what causes insomnia, but studies have found a variety of common factors that contribute. Do you struggle with stress, mental health, inconsistent schedules, or drink a lot of caffeine or alcohol? One or all of these could be the culprit.“Not being able to sleep is terrible. You have the misery of having partied all night… without the satisfaction.” — Lynn Johnston3 Tips for Better Sleep1. Keep it consistent.You might say, “But staying up until 3am every night is consistent!” You’re right. But if you’re only getting ~5 hours of sleep consistently, you don’t get enough deep, restful, healing sleep. Your body doesn’t have time to repair itself.Start by trying to sleep an hour earlier until you can do so comfortably, and dial it back earlier and earlier as it gets easier. Set a “bedtime” alarm and your wake-up alarm to make it easier to remember... Top tip: Insomnia is often driven by a fear of not falling asleep - you're worried about the impact of your lack of sleep on the next day and it can become a vicious cycle. Focusing on relaxation techniques including basic breathwork exercises can help you shift your mind into relaxing rather than worrying about not sleeping.2. Change up your sleep spaceYour sleep space could be part of your sleep problems. Light, either from outside or from electronic devices like your phone or TV, can trick your body into thinking that it's day time. Sleeping in a dark room stimulates the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Invest in some blackout curtains and try to avoid using screens or overhead lights in your bedroom 1 hour before bedtime.Top tip: try to keep your bedroom cooler - this can help reduce your core body temperature which can also help you sleep.3. Develop a "wind-down" routineThe majority of sleep issues are caused by stress in the body and the mind. Investing some time to 'wind-down' before bed can help you move yourself out of stress mode so you feel calmer, fall asleep quicker and sleep more soundly through the night.Yoga can be a great tool to help you manage your stress levels. There are many simple practices that you can do to trigger your body's natural relaxation response - your natural antidote to stress - and promote sound sleep. Your yoga teacher can help you to learn different postures, breathing and relaxation techniques to help you relieve stress.

  You’re an Anxious Sleeper!

  Image Source

  More often than not, you can be found awake well after your 'bedtime'. You've got the best intentions to go to bed and early and have a good nights sleep but once you get into bed your mind starts whirring and you struggle to switch off. When the tiredness finally takes over you get some sleep but when the new day hits, you tend to crash. You got some sleep, most likely not enough, and you’re back at it. This means you probably aren’t getting that deep, healing sleep that lets your body recover from all you put it through.There could be a number of factors contributing to you not being able to get to sleep but the most likely is that you're struggling with stress, or drinking a lot of caffeine. You may be more stressed than you realise. In modern life you're likely encountering dozens of "micro-stresses" a day. These micro-stresses as the name implies, are small - often invisible to us, for example a late night email can lead to feelings of guilt, failure or resentment. But microstresses build up on top of each other, activating your sympathetic nervous system - aka "fight or flight" mode, so you are in a constant state of alert. "The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to." – F. Scott Fitzgerald3 Tips for Better Sleep1. Keep it consistent.You might say, “But staying up until midnight every night is consistent!” You’re right. But if you’re only getting ~6 hours of sleep consistently, you don’t get enough deep, restful, healing sleep. Your body doesn’t have time to repair itself.Start by trying to sleep an hour earlier until you can do so comfortably, and dial it back earlier and earlier as it gets easier. Set a “bedtime” alarm and your wake-up alarm to make it easier to remember... Top tip: make 'bedtime' earlier than you think - you won't necessarily fall asleep straight away, but giving yourself a longer window provides a nice long opportunity for sleep.2.

  You’re a Restless Sleeper!

  Image Source

  If you find yourself tossing and turning, waking up during the night, or waking up early with your mind whirring, you're a restless sleeper!There could be a number of factors contributing to your poor sleep quality. Do you struggle with stress, or drink a lot of caffeine or alcohol? One or all of these could be driving your body to wake you up in the night. You may not have any trouble getting to sleep because you have a good level of 'drive' to sleep - usually caused by exhaustion. Once your initial 'drive' to sleep wears off you may find yourself susceptible to be awakened. Research suggests that your nervous system is activated either by stress, caffeine or alcohol then you're more likely to wake up during the night, once or multiple times as you are more aware of external stimulus, mental activity or physical tension. For many of us it's that thought "I really need to go to the loo!", "my neck/back hurts" or worries about work / life."A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow." – Charlotte Brontë3 Tips for Better Sleep1.

Top tip: make 'bedtime' earlier than you think - you won't necessarily fall asleep straight away, but giving yourself a longer window provides a nice long opportunity for sleep.

  You’re a Sleep-Improver!

  Image Source

  If you still feel tired in the morning despite getting 7+ hours sleep, or if you feel you sleep ok most of the time but you're curious to see if you can improve your sleep quality, you're a sleep improver!Although you sleep well the majority of the time, you might feel like that you don't feel as well-rested as you should. There could be a number of reasons why you're feeling tired despite 7+ hours of sleep... The first possibility is that you're not getting enough sleep for your body. Contrary to the popular belief that most of us need 7-8 hours per night, more recent sleep research now directly correlates longer sleep with better health / living longer. Roger Federer sleeps 11-12 hours per night for example, and this positive correlation has been linked to productivity levels in non-athletes too! The next possibility is that your sleep quality could be improved. Do you struggle with stress, or drink a lot of caffeine or alcohol? One or all of these could be driving your body to wake you up in the night - often without you being conscious of this, so you won't remember in the morning.Research suggests that your nervous system is activated either by stress, caffeine or alcohol then you're more likely to wake up during the night, once or multiple times as you are more aware of external stimulus, mental activity or physical tension. “I love sleep.
