Welcome to part two of my chat with author, writer and keynote speaker Summer Land. Today we're talking about sleep and who doesn't need more of that, or in my case better sleep.Before Summer moved to Australia, she'd always been a great sleeper. But the move and inevitable stress of such a huge life event soon found Summer struggling to sleep and when she did, the sleep quality wasn't great. In an endeavour to 'fix the problem', Summer turned to medication and as she shares, soon became a closet sleeping pill addict. But the pills didn't help and the more she took, the worse her sleep, her mood and her health; something had to give.As a writer and researcher, Summer did what she does best and tackled the problem of sleep, and in this episode, Summer shares what she's learned and the practices she uses to help get a good night's sleep.In this episode, you'll learn :1. The importance of sleep for overall health and well-being2. The impact of sleep on emotional health3. The impact of sleep on productivity and successWant to connect with Summer or buy one of her books?Check out her website here or follow her on Instagram.

And even if they do remain high on the priority list, the question of how to manage work with sleep deprivation can be a tricky one to solve. Chelsea Pottenger is the founder and director of EQ Minds, a company that helps businesses address mental wellbeing for their workforces. Chelsea talks about how we can cope with sleep deprivation, and also bring mindfulness to the work we do after we have kids.
