Expert Tips from Gemma Fisk,
Certified Infant and Adult Sleep Coach
Can you walk us through a recommended detailed sleep routine and what are the essentials in achieving that?
Firstly, ensure that your last meal of the day is at least 90 minutes – 2 hours before your planned bedtime. When we are digesting our food, our bodies are still ‘at work’ which increases body temperature. We actually need our body temperature to drop to initiate sleep so ideally we have finished digesting our food by this time.
After your evening meal, turn the lights down low throughout your home and ideally use a lighting that is warm in colour – avoid any white or blue light as this can mimic daylight too well and confuse our body clocks. Enjoy an activity that helps you decompress from the day and ensure this does not involve anything that could cause a spike in your cortisol levels (stress levels) – that includes checking emails.
Prepare your sleep space and ensure the environment is cool, quiet and dark. I’d recommend sleeping in clothes that are light and breathable. The Merino wool silk slip dress is a great option here as it is lightweight and a good material for temperature regulation.
Try to blackout the bedroom as much as you can. An eye mask can also be helpful here if this is not fully possible. The Therabody Smart Goggles also provide 100% blackout and has also been proven to reduce stress before bedtime leading to a more restful sleep.
Keep the sleep environment as quiet as possible so that your sleep is not disturbed. Some adults can benefit from a white noise machine or earplugs. Unless you have small children that you need to be able to hear at nighttime, the sound muting Sennheiser Earplugs can work really well.
Try to maintain a consistent bedtime and wake up time as our bodies love consistency. Also, for some people, only entering the bedroom when you are ready to sleep can be helpful. All other evening activity can take place in the living room of your home. For example, do not bring a laptop into your bedroom or watch TV in your room.
When you are feeling relaxed and sleepy, enter your bedroom and enjoy a peaceful sleep.

Opt for a gentle liquid detergent for delicates. Avoid whiteners, softeners, and bleach, as these can harm moisture-wicking properties.
