Welcome to an enlightening episode of the Mind Movement Health Podcast, where host Kate Boyle delves into the complex world of insomnia with holistic sleep coach Fiona Raikes.

As a recovered insomniac, Fiona shares her personal journey and the insights she has gained, now helping others to overcome chronic sleeplessness through a holistic and educated approach.

In this episode, we break down the cycle of insomnia, explore the physiological and psychological triggers, and examine the impact of anxiety on sleep.

Fiona introduces us to methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and Acceptance Commitment Therapy that aid in shifting the mindset towards sleep and addressing the root causes holistically.

Moreover, we discuss societal misconceptions about sleep, the role of circadian rhythms, and the gender disparities in insomnia prevalence.

If you're wrestling with restless nights, curious about improving your sleep quality, or supporting someone else in their struggle, this episode offers a compassionate and informative look into fostering better sleep health. Tune in for empowering insights and practical advice to reclaim restful nights.
