About this event
"Could my eating be disrupting my sleep?"
“How long before bed should I stop eating?"
“If I’m hungry I can’t fall asleep but if I’m full I wake up a lot – what am I doing wrong?
“What and how much should I eat for better sleep?”
Did you know that 48% of people report struggling to fall or stay asleep at least once a week? This widespread issue isn’t just about feeling tired!
Poor sleep has been linked to a myriad of health problems — from metabolic disorders and accelerated ageing to skin issues, poorer vision, moodiness, overeating, sub-fertility, and memory decline.
But what’s really behind these restless nights? Could your diet — what you eat, when you eat, and how much you eat before bed — be the key to unlocking better sleep?
In this CPD-CEU webinar, Alex Ruani, Chief Science Educator of The Health Sciences Academy and UCL Doctoral Researcher, will delve into the intricate relationship between diet and sleep patterns.
Join us as we explore how timing food intakes, adjusting meal composition, and identifying one’s prime bedtime can help promote restorative sleep and enhance overall well-being.
Here’s what you will discover in this CPD-CEU Webinar:
- Uncover your ‘prime’ bedtime: Learn to identify the best sleep timing through personalised chronotyping methodologies and sleep midpoint analysis.
- Does the food-bedtime gap really matter? Explore research on the most favourable time gap between the last meal and bedtime, to facilitate falling asleep and staying asleep.
- Eating against the clock: Discern when the wrong eating windows may interfere with our circadian rhythms, metabolic cycles, and sleep.
- How much food and when? Explore data on how varied meal frequencies (e.g., TRE, OMAD, IF) could be adjusted based on circadian patterns.
- Pre-sleep meal composition: Evaluate digestion rates of different macronutrients and their effects on sleep onset and quality.
- Still unable to fall asleep? Recognise when persistent wakefulness isn't insomnia and the surprising factors contributing to heightened alertness.
- Integrating sleep management in your practice: Enhance client outcomes with personalised methods and tools through our Level 5 Advanced Sleep Management Advisor™ certification.
