Sleep is paramount to a happy household as Alex and I have found out when our daughter Alexa Love was born.   Carol has helped over 500 families including us to have a happy, settled baby who sleeps well. While Carol's approach is to implement healthy sleeping habits from early on, she also specialises in issues in older babies and toddlers – working to remove sleep associations such as rocking/feeding to sleep and implementing better daytime naps with a simple, consistent routine.   Carol has a degree in psychology and educational psychotherapy. She attends ongoing training on child development and nutrition. She is a mother of two young boys herself and works in conjunction with a leading UK paediatrician to ensure that her routine and approach can be tailored for babies with allergies and reflux.   In addition to home visits and personal consultations, Carol has set up a unique online sleep consultation service which is a more affordable yet very effective option. She has also created a virtual community of Mums she has helped in the past, which she actively participates in on a daily basis to ensure people have a consistent sounding board for any issues that arise.   Learn more about Carol Mae here: http://www.carolmaeconsulting.co.uk

What are five great ingredients that Simon would choose to build a plate for great sleep?  How would Simon use those five magical ingredients and what would he do with them to create this magical sleep plate?

Dr Vaishnavi Sarathy is a Functional Nutrition Practitioner, a TedX speaker and Podcast Host. She is passionate about giving kids a fair chance at life through nutrition that sustains them, food that prevents autoimmunity, nutrients that boost brain function, and a digestive system that works with a thriving microbiome. That also means an equal education and assuming competence regardless of appearance.  Vaish is a Functional Nutrition Educator, with two Masters and a Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry! Her life changed when her son was born with Down Syndrome and was later diagnosed as being Autistic. She explored conventional options for the first 4 years of his life including occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, communication therapy, horseback riding and doctors. Every practitioner she met told her that genetics could not be helped, and that she must resign to having a child who would experience extreme intellectual delay with minimal chances at life! She decided to train herself in nutrition. She knew how every kid could learn and that labels were mostly for the convenience of the system. Her son is 13, he does algebra, he writes poetry, and yes, he is still non-speaking! She believes that an equal accessible education and sound nutrition are the birthright of every child! In this episode, we dive into:  “Sleep & Children with Special Needs” Vaish's journey with her son who has Down's, Autism & Cerebral Palsy. The impact of disability and denial and the resultant loss of time to acceptance of his ability to thrive. Is sleep poor for children with disability? What is seen typically? Is it that they cannot fall asleep at all, or struggle to stay sleeping or do they have an unnatural rhythm? What are the four primary reasons why children with disabilities struggle with sleep? What are some of the practices that have not worked?  What is the popular sleep nutrient that may actually make sleep challenges worse in children with disabilities? When it comes to sleep supplements, can method of usage actually make sleep worse? You cannot even diagnose a child with learning disabilities if the child is not sleeping well. Sleep is critical. Is it the other way around as well, where poor sleep increases symptoms and behaviour challenges and learning? Where do you try and break that vicious cycle?  What are some of the practices that have worked more often than not? Does Dr Vaish see some sort of a pattern? Does she find herself intuitively knowing what will work at a specific time? How can other parents tune into that intuition? What can parents actually do to support their child's digestion?  How does Dr Vaish see sleep playing a big role in managing special needs in terms of symptom challenges, behaviour patterns, learning and more? What is the best sleep food plate for children with special needs that is sleep supportive? What is on that plate? Is there a difference between animal based and plant based diets for children with disabilities? What are some speciality diets for children with disabilities? What is the idea behind low carb diets for children with disability? What is the best tool to use for better sleep for children with disability? Dr Vaish's mantra is assume competence. What does it mean for a parent to assume competence?

The journey of self discovery very early on and fighting for who she is. Why does Shilok say gender is a privilege?  Small town to big discoveries, and psychology to spirituality?

How do nutrients play a role in all this?  How do you heal your body through this major transformation?

Surya shares some stories about how this is actually true in the startup world. 90% of Indians are sleep deprived. This is pretty alarming. According to a report by Fitbit, India is one of the least active nations and are the second most sleep deprived nation globally. What actually happens among startups? How do they struggle with stress, sleep, lack of exercise and then ultimately poor health? Is it necessary that they ignore sleep so much? Is it possible for them to work smart, efficient and productively in spite of making sleep a priority? It is common for startup owners to wake up in the middle of the night with heightened anxiety. It is hard to disconnect from their business. Each person's stress response varies. Yet, having a few strong personalised practices like sleep hygiene and stress management practices can go such a long way in supporting them. Does Surya struggle with anxiety? What does anxiety look like and what can you do about it? Surya's personal recommendations to improve sleep and cope with the pressures of having a startup.

Claudia Saalmueller is a yoga and performing arts teacher. She studied at the Iwanson International School of Contemporary Dance and holds a master degree of theatre sciences and education from the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich. Although dancing has always played a major role in her life she was searching for something calming and relaxing for her body and her mind. She found it in her yoga and meditation practice. She became an RYT 500 with the American Yoga Alliance, after finishing her teacher training in Vinyasa Flow at Airyoga Munich and in Rishikesh, India. Claudia is also specialized in teaching children and teenagers and Yin Yoga which she studied with Jo Phee at the Balance Yoga Institute Frankfurt Main.   I'm talking to Claudia about the right form of yoga for better sleep! I always joke that when I started teaching yoga two decades ago, yoga was not the sexy profession that it is today. Most people thought that yoga was boring. Fast forward a decade later, suddenly yoga was everywhere. Ranging from beer yoga to hot yoga and power yoga, everyone was trying to create a new form of yoga that identified with them personally rather than the age old ancient science that it is. Even today, we continue to have yoga explode into different forms, but are they all as good as they claim? Could your yoga practice be destroying your sleep? What's the right form of yoga to restore sleep? Two yogini have an exciting conversation over this!  In this episode, we dive into:  “Right Form Of Yoga For Better Sleep” Claudia's story and how did her interest in Yoga happen?  I've been teaching yoga for two decades now and your interest is in yin yoga. Claudia and I share a similar view of yoga based on this. Let's talk about different forms of yoga today, and how some forms of yoga might not be the right fit for someone struggling with poor sleep. Results of research studies indicate that older adults practicing yoga regularly had better overall sleep quality, less episodes of disturbed sleep, took less time to fall asleep, less day time dysfunction, less use of sleep medications and also felt more rested and energetic in the morning. What are the reasons for this profound impact?  Yoga is powerful in relieving stress and unwinding the nervous system. How does yoga actually do this and what kind of asanas and practices really work on the nervous system. What is yin yoga? What are the profound characteristics of this form of yoga that actually target better sleep? I recall the phrase that one hour of yoga nidra is equal or even better than 4-5 hours of better sleep. This is why I advice someone who has sleep very badly but has a hectic day ahead, to do an hour of yoga nidra. How does yoga nidra really support better sleep or even help improve energy on a day after very poor sleep?

#8: Sleep Challenges in the LGBTQ Community   Suresh Ramdas works as an LGBTQ+ advocate for inclusion in the corporate space. As an out gay man, he is also the winner of Mr. Gay India 2019. With 14+ years of total experience in Customer Support and in the space of Diversity & Inclusion, he is also the co-Founder of “Working With Pride” (WWP) group. After completing the LGBTQ Executive Leadership Program from Stanford University and being a certified Diversity Professional and certified NLP Practitioner, he co-facilitated a leadership program called Leading With Pride (LWP) for the LGBTQ+ community people that helps to build leaders for tomorrow. He is featured as 2019's OUTstanding 50 LGBT+ Future Leader.  We are talking with Suresh about his deeply personal story of coming out as a gay, and sleep challenges within the LGBTQ community. This episode is also great for you if you want to break the barriers of beliefs and truly embrace every single person out there, in that true direction of inclusivity. We are so excited to have him with us today.  We are talking with Suresh about sleep challenges in the LGBTQ Community. Research has found that individuals with a different sexual orientation than heterosexuals have major impact on sleep and much higher risk for sleep challenges. Listen to this episode to really understand how sexuality can impact so much in your life. If you take acceptance for granted, take a listen.  In this episode, we dive into:  “Sleep Challenges in the LGBTQ Community” Suresh's story journey of coming out and embracing being a gay.  Discrimination, stigma, rejection and bullying are common experiences in the LGBTQ community. These are all common challenges that affect sleep. Stress can impact someone deeply. Did Suresh go through any really challenging times where he felt ostracised or rejected? Challenges with sleep in the LGBTQ community includes difficulty falling asleep several times a week, staying asleep through the night and short sleep usually no more than six hours. All of this falls under insomnia. What did Suresh struggle with? A study found that the LGBTQ community had a higher tendency to take medication to fall asleep. Is this true? Let's talk about anxiety, depression and mental illness. Clearly, while many things have changed socially, we might still be far away from where we would like to be. What has Suresh observed regarding anxiety and depression and how do individuals cope? Are there systems set up as part of a support group which addresses things like poor sleep and mental illness? A major trigger for stress, anxiety and sleep issues among the LGBTQ community seems to the stress at home. What are some of the challenges faced at home for someone beginning with just understanding their sexual orientation and right up to when they can move away or be accepted at home? Does it feel safe? While the risks of sleep disorder and interlinked stress and anxiety is high among LGBTQ, supporting better sleep still goes back to developing good sleep hygiene, healthy habits, reducing stress, limiting screen time, having a space that feels safe and creating a strong support system. Yet, I can understand how some of this takes a back seat, when someone is dealing with so much. How do individuals try to support their health, sleep and stress reduction in the LGBTQ community? What is one practice that supports coping with stress and improving sleep, and how do you ensure that it stays a priority?

This episode shatters the horrendous aspect of gaslighting a mother for having instincts about her child. Its time to listen to your inner voice and be the best champion for you and your child.   In this episode, we dive into:  “Hygiene Hypothesis, Dirt Cure, Microbiome and Sleep" Dr Maya's story of being ignored by the medical fraternity in spite of being a doctor herself and how that led to her authoring the brilliant book, The Dirt Cure What is the hygiene hypothesis, the microbiome and the dirt cure? If there is a history of excessive antibiotic usage and antacid usage, the microbiome has less diversity and less bacteria. This does put immunity at some risk. Why are we seeing so much of this? What is happening within the microbiome of someone who is hyper clean versus someone who has a robust microbiome? What are some of the sleep challenges that you are witnessing today?

In this episode, we dive into:  Ganesh's story and journey to worldwide CTO of ManpowerGroup, a Fortune 500 company. In the corporate world, it is common to see people following a policy of “sleep when I am dead”. Across corporate work culture, sleep is low priority. Have there been times where Ganesh prioritised everything else over sleep? One of the major aspects of poor sleep quality in work culture is that of shift work. This population of shift workers have been researched multiple times looking at the impact of disrupted circadian rhythm. Does Ganesh ever have times where he messes up his circadian rhythm due to travel or stress? Poor sleep is often worn as a badge of honour in the corporate world and everywhere. How does Ganesh personally feel that times of poor sleep impacts his brain health, thinking and productivity? What are the common symptoms that come up when he's had poor sleep? What is Ganesh daily routine from wake up to sleep as he juggles this big role as ManpowerGroup's global CTO? Is it the same most days? What would Ganesh suggest as a daily routine for someone who is in the corporate world? How can they learn to balance between productivity and personal sleep care? Many businesses globally are waking up to the importance of sleep. Some have sofas in the office to catch a nap. With discovering that poor sleep impacts performance, productivity, absenteeism, turnover rates, profitability, safety, health care costs and mental health of employees, more and more companies need to prioritise sleep for employees. Have he ever found companies where you have worked bringing in some practices that improve employees sleep quality? Do you feel food served in companies play a role in poor sleep quality?

Dr. W. Chris Winter, MD, renowned sleep specialist, author of The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How To Fix It, and founder of Charlottesville Neurology and Sleep Medicine (cvilleneuroandsleep.com), delivers a delightfully interesting overview of humans and our sleep patterns, including some practical advice on how to fix our sleep problems.  Dr. Winter knows sleep, so much so that celebrated journalist and media personality Arianna Huffington dubbed him "The Sleep Whisperer." With over twenty-five years in the field, Dr. Winter has been fully devoted to assisting people, helping them attain better sleep via his clinic, as well as private and/or group consultations. Dr. Winter is an in-demand sleep expert who has been contracted by professional athletes and noted personalities all over to assist with sleep, which is vital for our good health. His book, The Sleep Solution: Why Your Sleep Is Broken and How To Fix It received rave reviews around the globe, considered by many to be an extremely helpful guide to understanding sleep and figuring out how to correct sleep issues. The book received the sought-after accolade badges of ‘#1 New Release' and ‘#1 Best Seller' for sleep books on Amazon. Dr. Winter discusses his early interest in sleep research that developed back during his undergraduate days. From university sleep studies to studies centering on circadian rhythms and light, to how sleep affects astronauts traveling to Mars, etc., there are so many possible areas of study, diverse and interesting, and Dr. Winter states he has a great interest in all of them.  Dr. Winter acknowledges that insomnia is not really an inability to sleep, but in fact is a state of hyperarousal or hyper fear. Patients with insomnia, as Dr. Winter explains, have a sense of this hyperarousal or fear as they move closer to the time for sleep. They may doubt their ability to sleep or feel aggravated, and worry about the possibility that they will simply just lie there and not experience sleep. However, biologically speaking, insomnia is theoretically impossible, for the body will force sleep onto individuals, at least 5 or 6 hours per 24-hour cycle. Dr. Winter speaks about reframing the problem from a different perspective in order to solve it, and he details the various types of so-called insomnia that people report. Regarding insomnia, Dr. Winter explains that there has been an exponential explosion of writing on the subject of neuroscience and the importance of sleep. He discusses the current high-energy world we live in and how it impacts our sleep, and our ability to get the kind of sleep we need.  Dr. Winter discusses the media's understanding of sleep issues and how there is a lot of confusion out there regarding the subject. And he states that many of us don't truly understand how we sleep or have a sense of the kind of sleep we are getting. The sleep doctor states that consistency is what our brains enjoy most, so the idea that everyone needs to sleep from 11pm to 7am is fallacy. Regardless of our sleep schedule, as long as it is consistent and regular, the brain can process that in a healthy way. It is the constant changing of sleep schedule, such as staying up late some nights, but going to bed early others, and doing that on and on, that can create a problem.  The sleep expert talks about the importance of understanding how we feel each day, to get a sense of how sleep is impacting our overall feeling. He discusses fatigue and why it is different from sleepiness. Thus the concept of ‘more sleep' is not the answer; fatigue is the issue often. He cites specific examples from the many people he has helped, and discusses how some are simply given drugs by their physicians to help them sleep, but that the problem is not being addressed at its core. And he debunks many of the trendy sleep theories that do not follow scientific findings.  Dr. Winter outlines ways that people can take 20 or 30 minute rest opportunities during their days. Putting away the devices, turning out the lights, and finding a horizontal position are the basic steps toward inserting a rest break into our day. And as Dr. Winter states, whether you sleep or just lie there during these breaks, it doesn't necessarily matter, for it is still a period of relaxation in which you are giving your body an opportunity to sleep if it wants to.  The sleep doctor relates some of the book reviews he has received, and how even the occasional bad review is something he appreciates, for his expectation is that those reviewers might mention his book to their doctor and that will start a dialogue that just might get them on a track to finding better sleep in their lives. Dr. Winter is board-certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine. Additionally, he is board-certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (under the American Board of Medical Specialties) specifically as a sleep medicine subspecialist. And he is a prominent member of multiple sleep and sleep research societies, and respected groups. Dr. Winter is an Echols Scholar graduate of the prestigious, University of Virginia and received his medical degree from Emory University. Upon graduation, Dr. Winter completed his neurology residency at the University of Virginia. As Chief Resident, he won a national American Academy of Neurology Teaching Award. Finally, Dr. Winter completed his Sleep Medicine fellowship at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
