Here are Stephanie's top tips for getting the best night's sleep:
1 - Keep a regular wake time. If you want your body to be more predictable for you, you need to be more predictable to it. Now imagine the other patterns that women have - menstrual cycles and hormonal changes to name a few - the more you are in sync with your body in the things you can control, the more bearable and more predictable these changes can be.
2 - Be kind to yourself. It’s not about being a robot when you’ve got your period and eating super clean and forcing yourself to the gym - being intuitive and listening to what your body needs is very good for you. If you feel awful forcing yourself to do things not only affects you emotionally, but in turn affects the quality of your sleep - which then affects your abilities to cope with a bad period.
3 - Period pains can affect how we sleep - but a good healthy sleep routine can stop you being up for hours once you’re awake and can lessen the affect of the pain. Go to bed when you are sleepy, avoid forcing sleep (it won’t work anyway!). Sometimes trying the exact opposite can be very useful - try and keep your eyes open and tell yourself you will stay awake! Sometimes it’s the pressure we put ourselves under that is actually causing the lack of sleep!
4 - Make your sleep wind down time, your YOU time. The happier and more content you feel before bed, the better the sleep quality. So do the things you love and enjoy, spend time around the people that make you feel good. Good quality wake time leads to good quality sleepy time.
5 - It's OK to nap. Just be mindful that when you’re already going through changes, the more extra habits and behaviours you add, the more out of sync with your usual rhythms you become. Try and stick to the more proactive habits that avoid you feeling bad in the first place such as the rules above, and use reactive tools like napping sparingly.
