I will just stop by and say thank you for beeing in this fabolous group💛 I love to learn about better sleep 🫠

Let’s talk magnesium, because it does a lot of work in the background , and many of us are short on it without realising. The body relies on it for over 300 biochemical reactions. When levels dip, it rarely shows up as one big symptom. Instead you get a scattering of little things: more tension, a shorter fuse, restless sleep, the odd muscle twitch. Some of what magnesium is doing behind the scenes: ⭐️ Helping your cells make and use energy ⭐️ Letting muscles contract and relax (including your heart) ⭐️ Keeping your nervous system calm ⭐️ Helping regulate blood sugar ⭐️ Building strong bones ⭐️ Making GABA and melatonin, your calming, sleep-supporting messengers Food does a lot of the heavy lifting. Easy sources to lean on: pumpkin seeds, almonds, dark leafy greens, black beans, oats and quinoa, avocado, dark chocolate (70%+ 🍫), fatty fish, bananas and figs. A handful of pumpkin seeds, greens with dinner, a square of good chocolate are small ways to keep topping up the tank. And personally? I take magnesium glycinate in the evenings. It’s gentle on the tummy and calming, a lovely way to wind down for sleep. Food first, always through, and a quick word with your GP or pharmacist if you’re on medication.

There is something that doesn’t make it onto the “healthy sleep habits” lists and it’s this ⬇️ Often setting a boundary around your sleep can genuinely ruffle feathers. Not in a dramatic way, more a slightly hurt look when you leave the sofa before the film’s finished. A raised eyebrow when you say you’re eating dinner earlier now, because eating at 9pm was never doing your sleep any favours. I want you to sit with this: You are not doing something wrong. That’s just what happens when you change, even slightly, and the people around you feel the shift. Boundaries are personal. What’s right for you might look completely different to what’s right for your partner, your mum, your best mate. So when you draw a new one, earlier bedtime, no phone after 9, dinner that doesn’t sit on your chest till midnight, it can feel like you’re the disruptive one. You’re not. You’ve just stopped absorbing everyone else’s rhythm as your own. And it’s tempting to let the boundary slide instead, because new boundaries cause friction and ignoring them keeps the peace. Except that peace is costing you your sleep, and eventually your mood, your patience, your ability to actually show up for the people you’re trying not to inconvenience. A reframe that helps: the friction isn’t proof you’re doing it wrong. It’s proof something’s genuinely changing, and change is uncomfortable for everyone in the room, including you. 💬 Over to you: What’s one sleep boundary you’ve been putting off because you know it’ll ruffle a feather or two? Name it below ⬇️ Sometimes just saying it out loud makes it easier to actually do. Berit x

Is your sleep struggle real or are you overthinking it? Should you try melatonin? Will tonight be different? Is your nervous system the problem? Post a yes/no question about YOUR sleep in the comments. I’ll consult the oracle and deliver your answer. ✨ Some questions people ask: • Will I sleep through the night tonight? • Is my mattress the real problem? • Should I try a new supplement? • Is my nervous system sabotaging me? • Can I actually fix this? • Is it my hormones? • Will meditation help? • Should I see a sleep specialist? The oracle is waiting. 😉 Berit x

Welcome to ‘Simply Sleep’. 🌙✨ You’re here because sleep has become a struggle. And if you’re anything like the women I work with, you’ve probably tried everything, the apps, the supplements, the routines, the white noise machines, and still you’re awake at 3am, mind churning, body tense, wondering what’s wrong with you. Here’s what I know: nothing is wrong with you! Your nervous system is just sending you signals it doesn’t feel safe. This community exists because sleep isn’t about discipline. It’s not about doing more, optimizing harder, or forcing yourself into some prescribed routine. Real sleep restoration happens when we understand why we don’t sleep, and then we address it, not with shame, but with compassion and biology. In ‘Simply Sleep’, we work with a simple framework: ❤️ Your nervous system as the foundation (polyvagal theory, vagal tone, co-regulation) ❤️ Your values as the compass (what actually matters to you, not what Instagram says should) ❤️ Sense of Coherence as the target (feeling that your life makes sense, even in the hard bits) This means we’ll explore: ✓ What’s really keeping you awake (hint: it’s often not what you think) ✓ How to work with your body instead of against it ✓ The sleep-nutrition-nervous system triad that most people miss ✓ Real tools that feel gentle, not like another thing to force What you’ll find here: 📚 The Classroom: structured modules that build monthly 💬 This community space: real conversations, no algorithms, just us 🎙️ Access to my podcast and guided visualizations 🤝 A group of women who truly get what sleep struggle feels like What you won’t find: ✗ Judgement (you’re doing your best) ✗ “Just relax” advice (if it were that simple, you’d already be asleep) ✗ Selling you supplements you don’t need ✗ Toxic positivity wrapped in wellness language This is a place where your sleep struggles are taken seriously, your nervous system is understood, and healing happens slowly, gently, and for real. I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s do this together.
