We’ve spent September helping individuals, companies and organisations in business, charity, community and education get a better night’s sleep.
We all know what it’s like to arrive at work or at our studies wherever that might be having endured a night of poor quality sleep.
Restorative sleep has a massive effect on our productivity but how do we achieve it?
Here’s 3 hacks to help you on the road to better sleep…
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE NOSE
You spend more time in slow-wave deep sleep and less time in light sleep. Create good nighttime habits by breathing through your nose during the day. Bring attention to your breathing during the day actively trying to breathe more often through your nose and from your diaphragm.
NO LATE NIGHT EATS
If the body is metabolizing your food, your sleep may suffer! No snacks after your evening meal and stop eating three hours before bed.
RELAX BEFORE BED
Slow, deep exhalations have been proven to activate the Vagus nerve, which signals the brain to relax, enabling you to fall asleep easier.

This A-to-Z book includes a glossary of new words for children and short notes about better breathing for parents. Slow down, relax and read this book with your children to find out how you can all breathe better and improve your health.
