If you have trouble sleeping you won’t want to miss this episode.Our guest this week is the absolutely brilliant Sarah Wilde an insomnia coach and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for Insomnia (CBTi). This method is a way to reset your sleep with no supplements, pills or sprays needed and now Sarah uses this to form the foundation of her Meno-insomnia® Method coaching programme which can teach you how to get a good night's sleep so that you wake up feeling like YOU again.Often, sleep problems are one of the first symptoms women experience in peri menopause, with 40 to 60% of menopausal women experiencing sleep issues.So, Sarah went back to basics and looked at the science and research which confirmed what she knew from experience- that CBTi had been proven to be a natural solution for perimenopausal & post-menopausal people with insomnia.Sarah says that she can ‘help women sleep better naturally so that they can have the energy to do what they want.’ In this interview Sarah explains the positives of sleep drive and our Circadian rhythm and how having good sleep hygiene can be a positive until the rituals and habits stop working.We discuss the physiology of how Menopause affects out sleep, why does our body temperature make a difference?She gives you some great tips on how to aid better sleep, whether your sleep is broken, or you have trouble getting off to sleep.
