Everybody grieves differently but sometimes emotions or experiences can still feel taboo in society. We want to change that. All of these (and more) are valid. To learn more about grief experiences, visit https://ow.ly/l80m50YoYlA

Today is World Sleep Day.

Many of us struggle with sleep, and that can have a huge impact on our mental health. Similarly, mental health problems can have a huge impact on our sleeping. Here we look at the cycle of sleep and mental health, and provide tips on how to get a good night’s kip.

Poor sleep can affect your mental health in a number of ways. It may make you more likely to:

Experience anxiety and depression.

Be impacted by symptoms of existing mental health problems, such as mania, psychosis or paranoia.

Feel lonely or isolated – for example, if you don't have the energy to see people, or they don't seem to understand what you're going through.

Struggle to concentrate, or make plans and decisions.

Feel irritable or not have energy to do things.

Have problems with day to day life – for example, at work or with family and friends.

Be more affected by physical health problems.

If you experience sleep problems, here are some things you can try. Only try what you feel comfortable with, and don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Try to establish a routine. For example, going to bed and waking up at around the same time every day.

Find ways to relax, such as breathing exercises and meditation.

Fill in a sleep diary. Keeping track of what time you go to bed and what time you wake up may be helpful.

Make your sleeping area more comfortable. Try different bedding, light and noise levels.

Think about how screens and device settings may be impacting your sleep. Maybe reduce the brightness and try to stop using near bedtime.

If you’d like more guidance, you can check out our sleep and mental health page.

And if you're finding that sleep problems are having a big impact on your life, you might want to speak to your GP. They may be able to offer treatments for your sleeping problems such as talking therapies, medication or referral to a sleep clinic.

Monday is a quiet invitation to begin again.

For this new week,
I wish you a little more presence.
A little more gratitude.
And love that multiplies the good in your life.

And maybe a little less comparison.
A little less resentment.

Sometimes peace is not something we find.
It is something we gently choose, one small equation at a time.

With love
Alice

Reminder: a short time outside can do far more for your nervous system than an hour of overthinking

Sometimes the hardest part of change is that it doesn’t feel like change.
It feels like loss.

The cocoon phase is quiet.
No applause. No proof. Just the slow breaking of an old identity.

That’s why so many people quit right before the shift becomes visible.
Because the mind reads discomfort as danger, and confusion as failure.

But transformation rarely arrives as a clean “new beginning.”
It arrives as a collapse of what no longer fits.

If life feels heavy right now, it may not be punishment.
It may be the process.

And the process often looks like an ending…
until one day it isn’t.
