Insomnia Is Exhausting—But You’re Not Alone

Our Top 10+ Tips Can Help

For many, sleep is a natural reset—a time to rest, restore, heal and recharge. But for those living with insomnia, sleep becomes a nightly battle, and the toll it takes is far more than just feeling tired.

The Hidden Weight of Sleepless Nights

Insomnia isn’t just about having trouble falling asleep. It’s about the relentless cycle of exhaustion, frustration, and anxiety that follows. It’s waking up at 3 a.m. with a racing mind. It’s dragging through the day, unable to focus, feeling emotionally drained, and wondering if tonight will be any different.

Chronic insomnia affects millions and is often linked with other health issues like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and even diabetes. It can erode your quality of life, relationships, and productivity. And yet, many people suffer in silence, unsure where to turn.

🌙 Top 12 Tips from Our Sleep Naturopath

Here are some of the most effective, practical tips we share with our clients to help them reclaim restful sleep:

1. Cool the bedroom – A cooler environment helps signal to your body that it’s time to sleep.
2. Switch to natural bedding – Replace synthetic materials like polyester with organic cotton or bamboo sheets and blankets.
3. Avoid alcohol in the evening – Even one standard drink can disrupt your brain’s sleep architecture.
4. Stop caffeine by 2 p.m. – Caffeine (including in green tea, black tea, chai, and chocolate) can linger in your system for hours. Try chamomile tea instead.
5. Wake at the same time daily – Step into the sunlight and do some breathwork and stretching to reset your circadian rhythm.
6. Go to bed at the same time each night – Consistency is key for training your body to sleep well.
7. Aim for a 10 p.m. bedtime – This allows your brain to benefit from the most restorative sleep cycles before midnight.
8. Reduce blue light exposure – Use amber-lens blue light blocking glasses and adjust your device settings in the evening.
9. Avoid late-night snacking – Go to bed on an empty stomach to support natural melatonin production.
10. Stop drinking water an hour before bed – This helps reduce nighttime trips to the bathroom.
11. Try the 4-7-8 breathing method – Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. It’s a powerful way to calm the nervous system.
12.  Seek a health professional and get a test.
