You're doing everything 'right' when it comes to social media sleep routines... the magnesium, the no screens... but you're still not getting quality sleep? There IS a reason (& a fix!)
This week on A Millennial Mind, I'm chatting with Stephanie Romiszewski (@stephsleepyhead), sleep physiologist, founder of the Sleepyhead Clinic, and author of Think Less, Sleep More. With nearly two decades of clinical experience, she has helped over 10,000 people fix sleep they thought was unfixable.
We dig into why sleep hygiene is largely a myth, why your morning routine matters far more than your night routine, and the two biological mechanisms that actually control your sleep — and how you're probably sabotaging both without knowing it. We also get into popular 'sleep trackers', waking up at 5am, napping, magnesium, pregnancy sleep, and why thinking too hard about your sleep might be the very thing keeping you awake.
If you've ever beaten yourself up about bad sleep, wondered if you're broken, or googled yourself into a spiral of sleep anxiety — this one is for you.
🎙 What we cover:
- Why sleep hygiene doesn't fix chronic sleep problems
- Sleep drive vs circadian rhythm — what they are and why they matter
- Why your morning routine matters more than your evening one
- The truth about wearables and sleep trackers (and why they might be making things worse)
- Light exposure and movement as your most powerful sleep tools
- What chronic insomnia actually is — and what to do about it
- Sleep during pregnancy and as a new mother
- Napping: when it helps and when it doesn't
- Night owls vs morning types — can you change?
- Women and sleep: hormones, menopause, and the invisible mental load
- Magnesium, melatonin, and sleep supplements debunked
- CBT-I and sleep retraining explained
- Stephanie's book: Think Less, Sleep More
