I cannot emphasise enough, the importance of sleep for mums. As a mum or new parent, you’re no stranger to being overwhelmed and exhausted from a lack of sleep and sleep deprivation, right? During the history of the podcast, I’ve chatted with many wonderful ladies who have shared their expertise and experiences, and I’ve also spoken about the importance of sleep as well.
Many of the parents that come to learn baby massage from me, recognise the importance of sleep both for their little one and themselves.
Well, in this week’s episode, I’m focusing on the importance of sleep to you instead of your little one. Why? Well, sleep refreshes your mind and repairs your body, so it’s extremely important. I’m going to share tips and ideas to support yourself to ensure you do not succumb to sleep exhaustion and/or sleep deprivation.
