How to slow down your brain and sleep- Talk

This evening will give you a real understanding of what good sleep is, and how to improve the quality of your sleep so that you fall asleep easily, stay asleep, and wake well-rested.

Even a few hours of lost sleep affects our decision making, our ability to drive safely, our performance and recovery. And a prolonged lack of deep sleep damages our immune system, doubles our risk of illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, and jeopardises our mental health. If we want to make the most of life - have energy to enjoy it, be productive, have rewarding relationships and make good decisions, we need good sleep.

We will touch on the neurology and biochemistry of good sleep, the effects of stress, depression and just thinking, and what we can do to bring our brain, breathing, hormones and heart to the right state for sleep.

We'll cover nutrition, and the foods and eating patterns that support good sleep. And we'll consider sleep tech, useful and un-useful, including Anna's co-invention, the Zeez Sleep Pebble, a device which prompts our brain to follow natural patterns for good quality restful sleep.

Share sleep stories and have time for insights and guidance on individual sleep issues.
