    #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. Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:04 About Dr Michael Mosley 03:46 How many people have problems with sleep? 04:52 Sleep and its link to health 06:51 Why are you sleeping badly? 07:42 The science of sleep: deep sleep and REM sleep 10:44 Sleep and weight gain 11:53 Sleep and metabolic syndrome 13:00 Sleep, mood, libido and hormones 13:34 How much sleep do we need? 13:58 Quiz: are you sleep deprived? 15:00 Circadian rhythm and chronotypes 18:28 Are you a lark or an owl? 19:30 Tips to help you sleep better 23:12 Summary 24:18 How to check if you're getting enough 24:42 Sponsor message about MenoMe® botanical sleep support Episode Resources: Read: 4 Weeks to Better Sleep: A life-changing plan for deep sleep, improved brain function and feeling great here or here Watch/Read: with Flinders Unversity Sleep Institute here Download: Dr Michael Mosley's Sleep Diary here Download: Sleep Hygiene Sheet here Leave a tribute: for Dr Michael Mosley here Botanical sleep support: Merry Peri® for peri & Perky Post for post-menopause here Women On Fire® is sponsored by MenoMe® Follow MenoMe® on Instagram here Follow MenoMe® on Facebook here Visit the website here Subscribe to the YouTube channel to watch the interviews here  We're honoured you've joined Women On Fire® and hope you enjoyed this episode.
