  • Resumen

  • Sleep is crucial for our overall health and well-being, affecting both our physical and mental health. This is why a lack of it impairs a range of functions from task performance and post-physical activity recovery to cognitive performance and mood. Poor sleep quality also impairs decision-making. What can we do to manage episodes of poor sleep? Is it just sleep that’s an issue and where does tiredness come into it? What impact can menopause have on our sleep? In today’s episode, I’ll be asking these questions to Dr Jonny Bloomfield, health and performance coach and I’ll also be speaking with Diana Spellman, a company director who will be sharing her story of sleep problems as she adapted to the menopause. 2.48 Jonny explains the difference between sleep and tiredness and Diana shares how her sleep pattern started to go wrong4.50 Jonny explains that tiredness comes from many sources and gives a range of examples7.16 Jonny takes us through the sleep systems The importance of peak sleep driveThe circadian system and the hormones melatonin and cortisolThe effect of the stress and recovery 14.08 Jonny discusses changing hormones and the impact on the quality of our sleep.
