Ever found yourself lying in bed wide awake after Ever found yourself lying in bed wide awake after scrolling on your phone or watching a show? It’s not just your thoughts keeping you up. It might be the screen itself.

Devices like phones, tablets, laptops and even bright indoor lighting emit blue light. This kind of light signals your brain that it’s still daytime, delaying the release of melatonin, the hormone that helps you feel sleepy. Less melatonin means it can take longer to fall asleep and your sleep may not feel as deep or refreshing.

We get it. Sometimes that scroll or episode feels like the only way to switch off. But when screen time stretches too close to bed, it can throw off your natural sleep rhythm and leave you feeling foggy the next day.

Here are some simple tips that can support better rest:

✔️ Limit screen use 1 to 2 hours before bed
✔️ Use night mode on your devices
✔️ Keep lights dim in the evening
✔️ Try blue light blocking glasses
✔️ Create a relaxing wind down routine
✔️ Keep screens out of the bedroom
✔️ Swap your phone for a book, herbal tea or stretching

These gentle shifts help your body prepare for sleep naturally. If you’re finding it hard to fall asleep or wake feeling unrefreshed, looking at your evening habits is a good place to start.

Looking for extra support with your sleep? Book online today or call us on (07) 5535 2474 to speak with one of our Naturopaths about natural ways to improve your rest.

There are a host of things that can constubite to There are a host of things that can constubite to perimenopausal sleep issues, however one that can be overlooked is the role of nocturnal blood glucose levels. 

During the night (just like during the daytime), your cells will optimally utilise a seamless mix of glucose (from stored glycogen in the liver & muscle) & fats (from adipose stores). In those with glucose dysregulation, there can be hypoglycaemic slumps as this system falters; if this is happening during the night, you may experience a state of abrupt wakening as a stress response is triggered too restore blood glucose levels.

If you have changed to a low carb, keto or carnivore style of eating (common in those trying to initiate weight loss), adding some complex carbohydrates with dinner can help with serotonin & melatonin production while a diet focusing on protein & fibre along with general stress management & daily ovement will assist with insulin sensitivity & blood glucose stabilising.
Did you know your dinner plate could be affecting Did you know your dinner plate could be affecting your sleep?,
We often think of screens, stress, or caffeine as the main sleep disruptors and they are, but what you eat (and when) plays a major role in how well you sleep, too.

Certain foods are naturally calming. They support your body’s production of melatonin, serotonin, or contain magnesium, which all play a role in helping your body unwind. On the flip side, others can keep your system alert or uncomfortable, especially if eaten too close to bedtime.

🌿 Foods that may support better sleep include:
• Chamomile or passionflower tea – soothing and supportive for your nervous system
• Almonds, walnuts & bananas – rich in magnesium and melatonin
• Kiwi & tart cherry juice – contains serotonin and sleep-enhancing antioxidants
• Fatty fish – a source of omega-3 and vitamin D
• Turkey & oats – contain tryptophan and complex carbs to promote rest

🍷 But be mindful of common sleep disruptors too:
• Caffeine (coffee, chocolate, energy drinks)
• Alcohol – can fragment sleep, especially later in the night
• Sugary or spicy meals
• Late dinners – try to eat at least 2–3 hours before bed

If sleep has felt difficult, looking at your daily nutrition — not just your night-time habits — can be a powerful place to start.

🌿 Our Naturopaths can support you in understanding how your meals may be influencing your sleep, and guide you toward a routine that works for your body. Book online or contact us to learn more.

Here’s why: ❌ Caffeine (yes, even in chocolate Here’s why:
❌ Caffeine (yes, even in chocolate!) stimulates your body long after you’ve eaten it.
❌ Blue light from screens tricks your brain into thinking it’s still daytime.
❌ Heavy or late-night eating forces your body to focus on digestion instead of repair.

🌿 How to fix it (from our naturopathic tips):
✓ Swap late-night snacking for lighter dinners, finished before 8pm.
✓ Dim the lights + power down screens 1 hour before bed.
✓ Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet.
✓ Stick to a regular sleep and wake time (no “sleeping in” to catch up).

According to our naturopaths, deep sleep is when your body does its most important work — balancing hormones, detoxifying your liver (between 1–3am!), and recharging your brain. ✨

If you’re still struggling despite trying these changes, our team at The Wellness Emporium can help uncover the root causes — from stress and hormones to gut health — and create a personalised plan for better sleep.
✨ Book your consult today and wake up feeling renewed.

Feeling wired but exhausted? Stress and poor sleep Feeling wired but exhausted?
Stress and poor sleep often feed into each other, and it can be hard to tell which came first.

When you’re under stress, your body releases hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This is helpful in the short term, but when it becomes constant, it keeps your nervous system on high alert, even when you’re trying to rest.

That’s why you might lie in bed, exhausted, yet unable to switch off your thoughts. Over time, poor sleep increases stress levels, and the cycle continues.

The good news? There are gentle ways to break it.

🌿 Start with small habits that calm your body and mind:
• Try 10–30 minutes of mindfulness or deep breathing before bed
• Get some movement in during the day — even a short walk counts
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol too close to bedtime
• Limit screen time at night — bright light disrupts your body clock
• Create a calm wind-down routine: soft lighting, stretching, herbal tea
• Talk it out — connecting with someone can ease mental load

You don’t need to do it all#naturopathgoldcoast s consistency, not perfection.

Improving sleep and reducing stress takes time, but small, consistent steps can have a big impact.

🌿 If stress is keeping you up at night, our Naturopaths can help you uncover what’s behind it and support you with a plan that fits your life.

I know how tempting it is to reach for coffee the I know how tempting it is to reach for coffee the second you wake up.... especially when your energy feels low before the day even begins.

But if you’re constantly tired in the morning or crashing soon after, your adrenals might be calling out for a little support.

As a naturopath, I’ve seen how something as simple as when you have your coffee can make a real difference to your energy, cortisol balance, and nervous system.

This isn’t about giving it up - it’s about giving your body time to wake up naturally first. 🤍

Tried waiting before your first coffee? I’d love to hear how it felt. 💚 Naturopath Erika
