Turns out, good sleep doesn’t start at night — it starts in the morning. 😮 🌅

If you’ve ever found yourself wide awake at 1am, googling “how to fall asleep faster,” this episode is for you. I’m joined by Sleep Therapist Kate Blyth from Intuitive Sleep, whose own battle with chronic insomnia led her to discover a simpler, more compassionate approach to rest — one that helped me finally fall asleep easily and sleep through the night after years of struggle.

Kate shares why sleep is an innate process your body already knows how to do — and how the pressure to “fix” your sleep might be what’s keeping you stuck. We unpack common myths, explore the science of circadian rhythms and sleep drive, and look at how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) can gently retrain your brain for more reliable sleep.

⬇️ What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why good sleep starts in the morning — not at bedtime
How accepting wakefulness can lead to better rest
Why quality sleep matters more than clocking eight hours
Practical tools to reset your sleep without gimmicks or quick fixes

✅ Who this episode is for:

This conversation is for anyone struggling with insomnia, feeling overwhelmed by sleep advice, or wanting to feel more rested, focused, and clear-headed as a business owner, parent, or creative entrepreneur.

Hit play and remember: If sleep has ever felt like a struggle — you’re not alone, and the solution might be simpler than you think.

Let’s light up the world together, one idea at a time. 🌟
