| 9/25/24 | #133 Sleep Better In 4 Weeks - Dr Michael Mosley's Top Tips | Did you know that 60% of Australian adults (and let’s be real, probably most of the rest of the world too) suffer from sleep disorders? If you’re tuning in to Women on Fire®, chances are you know sleep problems well - especially if you’re navigating the choppy waters of peri or post-menopause.Sleep deprivation links to all kinds of pesky things: memory lapses, mood swings, stress, weight gain. And for us women in the throes of hormonal chaos, it’s like nature’s treacherous double-whammy! Not getting enough quality sleep messes with your body, brain, and gut, upping obesity, diabetes, and dementia risk. Yikes!In this Mini Pause®, I’m unpacking some gems from Dr Michael Mosley's 4 Weeks To Better Sleep co-created with Australia’s Flinders University Sleep Institute, alongside the SBS series Australia’s Sleep Revolution.Dr Mosley reminds us that severe sleep issues should get expert support but he was confident the advice in his book could make a difference for most.We planned to invite Dr Mosley onto the show just before his untimely passing during a holiday in Greece with his wife, Claire. His loss is felt by millions of fans who followed his findings. Rest in peace, Dr. Mosley - you were truly one of a kind.Chapters00:00 Introduction01:04 About Dr Michael Mosley03:46 How many people have problems with sleep?04:52 Sleep and its link to health06:51 Why are you sleeping badly?07:42 The science of sleep: deep sleep and REM sleep10:44 Sleep and weight gain11:53 Sleep and metabolic syndrome13:00 Sleep, mood, libido and hormones13:34 How much sleep do we need?13:58 Quiz: are you sleep deprived?15:00 Circadian rhythm and chronotypes18:28 Are you a lark or an owl?19:30 Tips to help you sleep better23:12 Summary24:18 How to check if you're getting enough24:42 Sponsor message about MenoMe® botanical sleep supportEpisode Resources:Read: 4 Weeks to Better Sleep: A life-changing plan for deep sleep, improved brain function and feeling great here or hereWatch/Read: with Flinders Unversity Sleep Institute hereDownload: Dr Michael Mosley's Sleep Diary hereDownload: Sleep Hygiene Sheet hereLeave a tribute: for Dr Michael Mosley hereBotanical sleep support: Merry Peri® for peri & Perky Post for post-menopause hereWomen On Fire® is sponsored by MenoMe®Follow MenoMe® on Instagram hereFollow MenoMe® on Facebook hereVisit the website hereSubscribe to the YouTube channel to watch the interviews here We're honoured you've joined Women On Fire® and hope you enjoyed this episode.
