Sleep is a cornerstone of wellness, yet many women find themselves battling sleepless nights, endlessly searching for solutions. In a recent "What the Gut" episode, Allison delves into this often-overlooked topic with Morgan Adams, a transformative holistic sleep coach. Morgan's insights, rooted in her journey overcoming insomnia and medication dependency, forge a hopeful path for those yearning for restful, restorative sleep.
Meet Morgan Adams
Morgan's battle with insomnia began nearly 20 years ago, triggered by life events and compounded by reliance on prescription sleep aids like Ambien. As a former pharmaceutical sales rep, she initially saw medication as a quick fix. Morgan turned her adversity into empowerment, transforming her insomnia journey into a passion for sleep coaching.
The Path to Sleep Optimization
Morgan emphasizes the foundational role of circadian rhythms in achieving good sleep. A strong circadian rhythm fosters sound sleep and is nurtured through consistent daily habits, such as:
Consistent Wake Times
Morning Light Exposure
Regular Meal Timing
Breaking Free from Sleep Medications
For those reliant on sleep medications, Morgan advises a careful, guided withdrawal process, ideally supported not just by a prescribing doctor but also by a knowledgeable sleep coach.
The Interconnection of Sleep and Gut Health
Morgan sheds light on the intertwined nature of sleep and gut health. Poor sleep disrupts gut microbiota, provoking inflammation and potential sleep disturbances.
Key Tips for Busy Women
Balancing life's demands often leaves women struggling to prioritize sleep. Morgan's top tips for optimizing sleep amidst a hectic schedule include:
Prioritize Consistent Sleep and Wake Times
Incorporate Moderate Exercise
Avoid Revenge Bedtime Procrastination
These practical tips and lifestyle adjustments can profoundly transform a busy woman's sleep quality.
Embrace Natural Solutions Before Biohacking
Morgan advises starting with foundational, no-cost solutions before exploring advanced biohacks or supplements. Consult Morgan for further insights and follow her recommendations to nurture a restful night's sleep.
