Disrupted sleep can really have an impact on things like diabetes, for instance, which totally makes sense because one of the main things that's happening while we're asleep is regulation of our metabolism, so all the hormones that are swilling around in our bodies day in and day out.
How much does sleep really affect your mental and physical health? In this episode of the Oxfordshire Recovery College Podcast, hosts Annie and Steven dive into the fascinating world of sleep and its profound impact on our well-being. They share eye-opening insights on how sleep influences everything from our mood to our immune system. But it's not just about the science – they also offer practical tips for improving your sleep environment and routine.

Plus, they recommend some handy resources like the Sleepio app and Matthew Walker's acclaimed book on sleep.

By focusing on better sleep, you can take a significant step towards improving your overall well-being.
Annie and Steven encourage listeners to experiment with different techniques and find what works best for them. Whether you're struggling with sleepless nights or just looking to optimize your rest, this episode is packed with valuable advice and insights.
