We at Sleep Therapeutics believe in better sleep for all— and a big part of this is treating Insomnia. As such, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with HALEO Clinic—Canada’s leading virtual care provider for the treatment of insomnia.
Ah, winter in Canada—snowstorms, freezing temperatures and ice! The perfect excuse for staying bundled up and warm indoors, sub a blanket of snow with a weighted blanket. Not only will a weighted blanket help you sleep better, but it’ll take your winter comfort level up a notch. And if you’ve already graced your bed with a weighted blanket, they also make perfect gifts—especially with Christmas just around the corner.
Ah, the holidays. Does anyone else consider the month of December one long holiday? Somehow, when December 1st hits, vacation mode is immediately set in motion. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of positives with this way of thinking! People are happier, anticipating the upcoming holiday they will spend with friends and family—and let’s not forget all the holiday parties you’ll be invited to. But there’s one downside to the mindset often associated with this time of year.
It’s that time of the year again: December is here, bringing with it the many joys—and stresses—of the holidays. And as with any holiday season, it’s easy to let good habits lapse amidst all the excitement. After all, you’re trying to fit in holiday shopping, travel, and multiple parties, all while racing to accomplish anything you didn’t finish earlier in the year! December really is the perfect storm of activities, and more often than not, your sleep is what suffers.
Can you believe it’s that time of the year again? Leave for work in darkness, head home from work in darkness. You might notice that the end of Daylight Savings Time means it’s just that little bit harder to keep up with some healthy habits you picked up over the summer like biking at sunset or eating more fresh fruits and vegetables. Not only that, but you might find yourself a bit more fatigued, moody and opting for some looser clothing.
There’s no denying that menopause is a time of serious change—hormonally, physically, and psychologically. Even if you’re perimenopausal (you aren’t experiencing menopause yet), you’ve likely heard stories of the dreaded hot flashes, sudden mood swings, and changes in metabolism. If you’re like many women, these changes can (and do) directly impact your sleep quality, leaving you less well-rested and more easily frustrated. Don’t sweat it though—we’ve got you. Here’s what you need to know about getting a good night’s sleep through the menopausal years.
It’s late. You’ve had a long, exhausting day and you can’t wait to get some rest. You snuggle under the covers, all wrapped up in your favourite PJs. Head resting on your cloud-like pillow, you close your eyes and start drifting off to sleep.
It’s fall… AGAIN! While I’m already counting down the months until next summer and that summer weather, it can feel nice to cozy up in a big sweatshirt and drink some hot apple cider. And there’s one more thing that makes the anticipatory season to winter that much better: Thanksgiving.
Back to school takes on a whole new meaning this year. It’s not only back to school, it’s back to work, back to socializing, commuting… all the things we haven’t been able to do for the past year and a half!
If you’re anything like us, you’d never say no to a weekend getaway or faraway destination. The advent of air travel has afforded us the luxury of condensing a weeks-long journey into mere hours, but that expedient travel comes at a cost.
