    Why you may have insomnia, and some more tips to help.

    Ever wondered why you can't sleep — even when you're completely exhausted? In Episode 14 of The Self-Care Journey, Maggie Webber breaks down what insomnia actually is, why it happens, and how to break the cycle for good. Maggie shares her own experience with insomnia — including a diagnosis of depression, significant financial stress, and the moment she finally found real relief. Raw, honest, and deeply practical. What causes insomnia? Insomnia isn't just one thing. Maggie explains the two main types — difficulty falling asleep, and waking frequently through the night — and why daytime symptoms like poor concentration, irritability, memory problems, and impaired coordination are often the real wake-up call. She also covers how alcohol, antihistamines, and common sleep aids can actually make things worse. 5 more tips to improve your sleep: 1. Be careful with napping — Long naps can undermine your nighttime sleep routine. Maggie recommends a short meditation instead to reset your energy mid-afternoon. 2. Do your worrying before bed — not in it — Set aside time before dinner to review your day and plan tomorrow. Getting tasks out of your head and onto a list stops your brain from churning at 2am. 3. Make your sleep environment as comfortable as possible — Keep the room cool, block out light with an eye mask, use noise-cancelling headphones, and reduce blue light from screens at least an hour before bed. 4. Use relaxation techniques to reduce stress — Try sleep hypnosis recordings, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, counting backwards, or meditation. 5. Consider cognitive therapy — Talking to someone can be transformative. Maggie did 15 sessions of cognitive therapy during one of the hardest periods of her life — and says it changed everything. Maggie also shares a deeply personal story about completing an unfinished chapter from 25 years ago — and how resolving it finally helped her sleep.

    Tips to Help With Insomnia

    Do you lie awake at night — exhausted but unable to sleep? You're not alone, and this episode is for you. Health coach and entrepreneur Maggie Webber shares 5 practical, evidence-based tips to help working mothers beat insomnia and wake up feeling genuinely rested. What you'll learn: 1. Wake up at the same time every day — Your body craves routine, even on weekends. Maggie shares how she retrained her body clock and ditched her alarm for good. 2. Cut back on caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol — Caffeine's half-life can last up to 24 hours. And while alcohol may feel sedating at first, it disrupts your REM sleep later in the night. 3. Time your exercise wisely — Regular movement improves sleep quality, but working out too close to bedtime (or doing backbends after 5pm) can keep you wired. 4. Keep your bedroom for sleep only — No TV, no phone, no late-night emails. Protecting your bedroom environment sends a powerful signal to your brain that it's time to wind down. 5. Avoid eating and drinking right before bed — Late-night snacks activate your digestive system, and even a small drink can disrupt sleep by waking you for bathroom trips. Maggie also shares her personal experience giving up alcohol, using a sleep app, and how her body naturally reset to a consistent wake time — no alarm needed. Perfect for busy mums, female entrepreneurs, and anyone struggling with sleep deprivation. Subscribe for weekly wellness tips from Maggie Webber.
