Renowned celebrity lifestyle and health expert Luke Coutinho sheds light on how you can unlock the power of sleep.
Sleep deprivation is a significant contributor to lifestyle diseases, serving as a catalyst rather than a mere factor. Structured sleep routines fades as we grow older, he says.
Chronic inflammation is central to many ailments. Adequate sleep supports immune function, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing.
True rejuvenation occurs during deep sleep, involving both REM and non-REM cycles, unlike short breaks that offer only temporary relief.
Disruptions to circadian rhythms, caused by inadequate or excessive sleep, can affect mood and well-being. Prioritise sleep to mitigate the risk of depression.
Stress and sleep share a complex relationship. Chronic stress disrupts hormonal balance, potentially leading to weight gain and health issues.
Daytime naps don’t compensate for inadequate night-time sleep. While naps offer a temporary energy boost, they cannot replace the benefits of a full sleep cycle.
Sleep before midnight to align with the body's natural rhythms and enhance restorative sleep quality.
Establish consistent sleep routines, minimise gadget use before bedtime, and create a conducive sleep environment.
