If you’re not sleeping well, chances are you’ve already tried the basics - less caffeine, fewer screens, maybe even a magnesium supplement or two. But what if the problem isn’t your bedtime routine… but something deeper you haven’t yet spotted?
In this episode, we walk through a 7-step self-audit to help you figure out what’s really going wrong with your sleep - and why. You’ll learn how to:
Identify your true sleep pattern (is it falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up exhausted?)
Spot lifestyle, hormonal, or emotional factors that might be at play
Rule out the usual suspects - from light and noise to caffeine and wine
Recognise medical red flags that signal it’s time to speak to a doctor
Pull together a simple, personalised “sleep hypothesis” to guide your next steps
This isn’t just another sleep hygiene checklist. It’s a structured, evidence-backed process that helps you stop guessing - and start seeing the patterns in your own nights.
Whether you’re lying awake at 3 a.m. or waking up foggy after a full night’s sleep, this episode will help you understand what’s going on - and where to start making changes.
Perfect for your next walk, commute, or wind-down.
