How To Achieve & Maintain Superhuman Sleep

Getting a good night's sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your health, yet it's something that so many of us struggle with. Whether it's trouble falling asleep, waking up throughout the night, or just not feeling rested in the morning, poor sleep can have a major impact on our physical and mental wellbeing.

But what if I told you that you can hack your sleep and get superhuman levels of rest? It's true! By making a few simple lifestyle changes, you can transform your sleep and wake up feeling energized, focused, and ready to take on the day.

In this blog post, I'm going to share my top tips for getting the best sleep of your life. From optimizing your diet and exercise routine to creating the perfect sleep environment, you'll learn everything you need to know to become a sleep superhero.

Whole Food Diet

One of the most important factors for good sleep is your diet. What you eat (and when you eat it) can have a huge impact on your sleep quality.

The key is to focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that are rich in sleep-promoting nutrients like magnesium, glycine, and melatonin. Avoid processed foods, as these can disrupt your sleep.

Some of the best sleep-promoting foods include:

• Collagen, with honey, in boiling water; preferably every day for breakfast 
• Salted eggs & fruit juice
• Olive oil
• Any meat/organs, onion & potatoes
• Sourdough bread, butter, liver pate & pickled cucumber slices
• Dairy products like raw milk, cottage chese & yogurt
• Bee pollen, banana, maple syrup & berries (with cottage cheese)
  
• Cooking oils: Beef Tallow, Good Quality Lard, Ghee, Butter & Coconut oil

Aim to eat these foods throughout the day, and try to have your last meal a few hours before bedtime to give your body time to digest.

Movement and Exercise

Regular exercise is another key component of good sleep. When you move your body during the day, it helps to regulate your circadian rhythms and prepare your body for a restful night's sleep.

However, it's important to time your workouts correctly. Avoid intense exercise too close to bedtime, as the adrenaline and endorphins can make it harder to fall asleep. Instead, aim to exercise earlier in the day, or opt for gentler activities like yoga or light stretching in the evening.

Light Hygiene

One of the biggest disruptors of sleep is exposure to blue light, which is emitted by our electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and computers. This blue light tricks our brains into thinking it's daytime, suppressing the production of melatonin (the sleep hormone) and making it harder to fall asleep.

To combat this, it's important to practice good "light hygiene" in the evenings. Preferably avoid using electronic devices for at least an hour before bedtime, and consider investing in a pair of blue light blocking glasses to wear in the evenings. You can also try using a red light bulb in your bedroom after sunset, as red light doesn't disrupt melatonin production; and instead enhances & optimizes more or less every single biological mechanism in your body.

Stress Management

Stress is another major factor that can sabotage your sleep. When you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, it can be really difficult to relax and drift off to sleep.

To combat stress, try incorporating some relaxation techniques into your evening routine. Things like deep breathing, meditation, or gentle yoga can help to calm your mind and body, making it easier to fall asleep.

You can also try listening to soothing music or nature sounds as you're falling asleep. The calming effect of music can help to lower your heart rate and blood pressure, putting you in a more relaxed state.

Consistent Routine

Finally, one of the most important things you can do for your sleep is to establish a consistent bedtime routine. When you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, it helps to regulate your body's internal clock and make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Try to create a calming, relaxing routine that you do every night before bed. This could include things like taking a warm bath, reading a book, or practicing some light movement. The key is to do the same things in the same order every night, so that your body and mind associate these activities with sleep.

By incorporating these tips into your lifestyle, you can transform your sleep and wake up feeling like a superhero every day. So what are you waiting for? Start optimizing your sleep today and experience the life-changing benefits of getting the rest you deserve.
